The Quality Dividend Focus strategy seeks to build a diverse, higher-quality portfolio that delivers consistent returns and a high dividend yield while mitigating unintended risks. Our portfolio construction process and active risk management is designed to avoid sector concentrations, unsustainable dividends (or yield traps) and unintended beta exposures.

  • Seeks to deliver a high and consistent dividend yield, 1.5-2X the select benchmark
  • Creates intentional risk exposures with sector/region-neutral portfolio construction
