Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

Long-term capital appreciation. Preservation of capital, while not a goal, is also an important consideration.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 65% of assets in equity securities of companies that have increased dividends in at least 8 of the last 10 years without decreasing them, doubled dividends over the decade, retain more than 35% of earnings, and carry manageable debt levels. The manager applies fundamental analysis and valuation screening to identify securities trading below intrinsic value, with the remainder of the 80% dividend-paying allocation in companies meeting less stringent criteria. Because performance depends on the manager's security selection and valuation judgments, results may diverge materially from broad market returns.
