The fund stands as a pivotal player in the investment domain, focusing on providing its investors a gateway to high dividend-yield companies that exhibit a strong track record of dividend management. It dedicates no less than 80% of its total assets towards securities that make up the index it tracks, alongside depositary receipts based on these securities. This strategic approach ensures the fund's alignment with the index's objective to encapsulate the performance of companies worldwide. These companies are not just part of the S&P Global BMI but are also distinguished by their sustainable dividend policies, having either increased or maintained stable dividends for a decade or more. This disciplined investment philosophy aims to cater to investors seeking exposure to firms with a robust financial discipline and a promising dividend payout history, encapsulating a blend of growth and income potentials.
This service offers a comprehensive investment portfolio mirroring the performance of the index, which represents high dividend-yield companies with a consistent record of managed dividends. It is specifically tailored for investors looking to capitalize on the growth and income potential of companies committed to rewarding shareholders through stable or increasing dividends.
Alongside direct index investments, the fund also provides avenues for investing in depositary receipts based on the securities within the index. This form of investment broadens the opportunity for shareholders to gain exposure to foreign high dividend-yield companies, thus diversifying their investment portfolio and potentially mitigating risks associated with market volatility.
