Dividend Performers Methodology

Dividend Performers will seek to potentially provide gross annual income from dividends of 2-3% and, in addition, gross annual income from option premium of 3-4%.

Fundamental Analysis & Research

Research uses a ‘risk-first’ focus in selecting stocks to be included in the portfolio:

  • to identify mispriced stocks
  • to score those stocks’ downside risk—risk of the stock versus potential return.

A fundamental value approach evaluates downside risk score on 22 fundamental factors—with the goal to avoid downside risk.

Portfolio Construction

Compiled from Dividend Achievers* stocks with the strongest downside risk scores.

Construction includes an option overlay strategy seeking a credit spread on the S&P 500 Index. The option overlay:

  • sells/writes an out-of-the-money short put option bi-monthly
  • also purchases an out-of-the-money long put option below the short option position
  • uses the long put option to potentially hedge any significant downside risk posed by the short put
* The NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index represents firms that have increased their dividend for at least the last ten straight years.

Generation of Income

The Fund seeks both the opportunity for growth through capital appreciation of the stock share prices and the potential for consistent income from dividends plus option premiums from an option overlay strategy.
