The fund aims to provide income and moderate capital growth through an actively managed portfolio of income-producing securities of issuers anywhere in the world. These securities may include, but not limited to, dividend-paying common stocks and preferred shares, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The portfolio adviser uses a quantitative approach in identifying and optimizing exposure to such securities. Those perceived to have above-average dividend yields, and/or issuers that are expected to pay out increasing dividends over time are selected. The fund may also invest in other ETFs to gain such exposure.
