Madison Dividend Value ETF (DIVL)

Overview

The company operates an investment fund focused on achieving its investment goal through the allocation of funds into equity securities of companies with a significant market capitalization (over $1 billion), which also have a track record of paying dividends. These targeted companies are not just dividend payers but also have the potential to increase their dividends over time, aligning with the fund's strategy for growth through income. This approach is underpinned by a commitment to invest at least 80% of the fund's net assets, including any borrowed funds, into such dividend-paying equity securities under normal market conditions. The investment strategy exhibits flexibility in geographic exposure, with up to 50% of its common stock allocation permitted in foreign securities, which encompasses both ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) and securities from emerging markets, adding an international diversification to the investment mix.

Products and Services

• Dividend-Paying Equity Securities Investment

  This product focuses on investing in the equity of companies with significant market capitalization and a consistent history of dividend payments. The prime criterion is not only regular dividend payments but also the capability of these companies to increase their dividends over time, ensuring that investors potentially benefit from both the income generated through dividends and the appreciation in equity value.

• Fixed Asset Allocation Strategy

  As part of its core strategy, the fund commits to allocating at least 80% of its net assets (including any funds borrowed for investment purposes) in dividend-paying equity securities. This dedicated focus on dividend-yielding investments underlines the fund's objective of income generation coupled with capital growth, providing a clear strategic direction for potential investors.

• International Investment Exposure

  To diversify its investment portfolio and capitalize on global investment opportunities, the fund may allocate up to 50% of its common stock investment in foreign securities. This includes investments in ADRs and emerging market securities, thereby offering investors exposure to international markets and the potential for higher returns, albeit with an associated increase in risk.
