    Summary

    Summary

    What is the Dividend Growth Fund?

    The Fund seeks to deliver total return by investing primarily in stocks of large U.S. companies that have a history of increasing their dividends.

    HIGH-QUALITY UNIVERSE

    Companies with consistent dividend growth are often market leaders with stable business models, strong balance sheets, and management teams committed to shareholders.

    LOWER RISK PROFILE

    Focusing on U.S. companies that have consistently grown their dividends often provides investors with an equity portfolio that has a lower risk profile than the broader market.

    GROWTH AND RISING INCOME

    A portfolio of consistent dividend growers may provide investors with long-term growth and rising income. Many of these companies have grown their dividends much faster than inflation.

    Portfolio Positioning as of 09/30/2024

    • Our view is that the pressure on companies and consumers from inflation is receding, allowing the Fed to begin cutting rates. Although economic growth and inflation are decelerating, we believe that a backdrop of stable employment, higher real wages, and continued fiscal spending will allow for a strong economy and a low probability of a severe recession.

    • Thus far in 2024, many areas of the U.S. economy are seeing differentiated growth and operating momentum relative to the broader market, creating a large dispersion in stock performance. The “Magnificent 7” from 2023 has given way to a broader set of quality winners across and within industries. We continue to focus on these companies, as we believe their expanding markets, combined with market-share gains, pricing power, and efficiency-driven margin expansion, support above average revenue and earnings growth relative to peers and the broader market. In our view, high-quality, more-profitable businesses with growing dividends have the agility to help them adapt to today’s increasingly uncertain environment, invest more strategically in their businesses, and seek out attractive M&A opportunities to enhance their existing businesses. We are also optimistic that smaller capitalized stocks can begin to outperform as earnings growth accelerate after a long period of underperformance to large caps.

    • We continue to see opportunities across several long-term themes including U.S. infrastructure spending, a long-term U.S. housing shortage, offshore energy development, and companies that enable the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).
      • Companies that could benefit from U.S. infrastructure spending include engineering & construction firms, industrial companies, building materials and building products companies.

      • The secular U.S. housing shortage presents opportunities for homebuilders, building materials and building products, rental housing, and home improvement companies.

      • Offshore energy development offers growth prospects for major oil companies engaged in offshore exploration & development, and offshore service providers.

      • Generative AI is a widely discussed and debated theme in the markets today. The potential for AI to benefit various industries is extensive. While the most evident advantages may be seen in businesses directly involved with AI, there are also significant opportunities in sectors that indirectly support and scale the technology, such as chip manufacturers to utility companies and their vendors that are racing to build the incremental capacity to support this revolution.
