Strategic Value Dividend SMA

Separately Managed Accounts .

Overview

 
STRATEGY

A composite of domestic portfolios investing in U.S. and foreign stocks seeking high yield, reasonable dividend growth and lower volatility in falling equity market environments as well as potential participation in rising markets. Eligible portfolios are managed with wide latitude to choose the sectors and securities to fulfill the mandate. Securities are selected based on a fundamental assessment of their financial strength, dividend yields, dividend growth rates and performance during periods of market weakness. Portfolios in this composite implement the strategy using American Depositary Receipts (ADR) versus directly purchasing shares of companies on foreign exchanges. Investments in ADRs entail risks related to daily fluctuations in the value of currency, which may be more volatile in times of increased market risk. There are no guarantees that dividend-paying stocks will continue to pay dividends.
