Products and Services
The fund's main product and service offerings are centered around its investment strategy, focused on high-dividend-yielding international equities. Below is a detailed explanation of these offerings:
- International High Dividend Fund
This product aims to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the underlying index which tracks the highest dividend-yielding stocks within the S-Network Developed International Equity 1000 Index. By focusing on the "Dividend Dogs," the fund seeks to provide investors with a reliable source of income in addition to the potential for capital appreciation. This is an attractive option for those interested in diversifying their income stream and tapping into international markets for dividend yields.
- Rules-Based Index Strategy
The underlying index's rules-based strategy enables the fund to systematically identify and invest in high dividend-paying stocks globally. This method involves a disciplined approach to selecting stocks based on their dividend yields, rather than subjective measures, making it a transparent and potentially less risky option for investors looking to gain exposure to international dividends. This systematic approach ensures consistent application of the selection criteria, aiming to provide a steady performance relative to the targeted high-dividend yield stocks.
