CGDG seeks long-term total returns through investments in dividend-paying companies that are considered attractively valued and have potential for dividend growth. Although it provides global exposure, the fund is expected to allocate significantly to securities outside the US. In identifying constituents, securities are evaluated based on the current dividend yield, dividend history and forecasted dividend growth. Attractively valued companies are then selected, all of which represent good, long-term investment opportunities. The fund employs a multi-manager approach wherein several portfolio managers oversee a segment of the whole fund. Since CGDC is actively managed, investment decisions are based solely on the discretion of the investment adviser.
