Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Funds investment objective is to seek current income and capital appreciation.
The fund invests in equity securities of large and mid-sized companies with at least ten years of consecutive dividend growth, seeking both current income and capital appreciation. The portfolio manager selects companies expected to sustain dividend increases through earnings growth, typically with market capitalizations of at least $500 million at purchase. The fund may hold up to 20% of assets in foreign securities, including emerging markets and depositary receipts. Because performance depends on the manager's selection of dividend-growth stocks, results will diverge from the broader market.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 9.08pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.82pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
