Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing.

Any indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in security value and reinvestment of all distributions and does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns.

For fund series less than one year old we are not permitted to show performance information. 

The payment of distributions and distribution breakdown is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund's performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, then your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund and income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, then you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero. For more information about the Fund’s distribution policy and the conditions under which the distribution rate shown may change, please refer to the simplified prospectus.

Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

Investment Approach

The 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.
