* Underlying Fund

How the Fund is Managed *

  • The Fund was created to provide investors with exposure to some of the world’s leading dividend-paying issuers.
  • The Fund’s focus will be on:
    1. Absolute returns although it will also be benchmarked against the MSCI World (Total Return) Index and the Dow Jones STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 (Total Return) Index; and
    2. Tax-efficient monthly cash distributions of $0.05 per unit ($0.60/unit per annum) representing a yield of 6% per annum based on the $10.00 per unit initial launch price
  • The Fund will be actively risk-managed with a view to reducing volatility via exposure to all or most of the 10 key industry sectors and will seek to achieve a weighted average dividend yield 50% above the dividend yield on the MSCI World Index.
  • Active currency hedging.
  • Selective use of options to generate additional returns and improve tax efficiency of distributions.
  • High quality weighted average credit rating of issuers in the Fund.
