Products and Services

• Equity Securities Investment

  The cornerstone of the fund's investment strategy lies in equity securities, particularly those which pay dividends. This commitment sees the fund allocating at least 80% of its assets, inclusive of borrowed funds, towards stocks and equity investments. This focus aims to harness the long-term growth potential and income-generation capabilities of dividend-paying equities.

• Income Generation Techniques

  To complement its equity investments, the fund employs various techniques designed to generate income, such as covered call strategies. This approach involves selling call options on assets already owned by the fund, providing it with additional income through the premiums received from these options. This strategy adds a layer of income on top of the dividends that the stocks in the fund's portfolio might yield.

• Emphasis on Value Stocks

  While the fund is open to investing in a broad range of equity securities, it shows a particular preference for value stocks. These are stocks considered to be undervalued compared to their fundamentals, such as earnings, dividends, and sales. The fund seeks out these investment opportunities with the belief that they offer an attractive balance of risk and potential return. Value investing is a core component of the fund's strategy, although it does not exclude growth stocks from its portfolio, allowing for a diversified investment approach.

• Growth Stocks Investment

  In addition to value stocks, the fund also sees potential in growth stocks. These are companies that are expected to grow at an above-average rate relative to the market. Although value stocks play a significant role in the fund's strategy, the inclusion of growth stocks allows it to tap into the dynamism of rapidly expanding sectors and companies, ensuring a comprehensive engagement with the equity market.
