The fund is designed for investors seeking to capitalize on dividends from a focused portfolio. It primarily targets dividend-paying companies with the majority of its net assets dedicated to this purpose. The fund is managed with a strong emphasis on investing in United States mortgage REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and business development companies. These entities typically engage in residential and commercial loan operations, offering exposure to a range of financial activities and instruments, including business loans to private companies and derivatives. The investment approach of the fund is geared toward leveraging these sectors for both growth and risk management. Despite its targeted investment strategy, the fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its investments more than a diversified fund.
A core strategy of the fund is the investment in companies that return value to shareholders through dividends. This includes a wide array of entities known for their dividend-paying capabilities. The focus on dividend yield is aimed at providing a steady income stream to investors.
The fund allocates a significant portion of its assets in U.S. mortgage REITs which are involved in financing residential and commercial properties. These investments offer the potential for income through interest payments on property loans, catering to investors interested in the real estate sector.
Business Development Companies (BDCs) that invest in residential and commercial loans and securities form another cornerstone of the fund's investment portfolio. BDCs are instrumental in supplying capital to small and medium-sized enterprises, thereby offering investors exposure to private company debt and equity.
In addition to direct investments, the fund utilizes various types of derivatives as part of its strategy for both investment purposes and risk management. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset, index, or interest rate, and can be used to hedge against fluctuations in these underlying elements.
