Key reasons to invest

  • Underlying portfolio manager Fortis Investments identifies and selects stocks with high, sustainable and increasing dividends.
  • Currency hedging reduces the volatility of returns (source Fortis).

Investment Approach

The underlying fund managers select shares of predominantly defensive companies with high, stable and, preferably rising dividend yields. The quality of the companies' management also plays a key role in the analysis. These factors, together with the stock's valuation, ultimately determine which companies make it through the team's selection process
