This strategy is less aggressive than many on Quantbase, as evidenced by a low risk score. This means that it may achieve lower absolute returns as a result, but remains especially strong in bear market conditions and displays lower levels of volatility.
Dividends in this fund are reinvested as they are accrued.
High dividend yields may indicate that a business is in distress, or that a stock has fallen in price sharply relative to its dividend. We assess the dividend yield alongside the dividend growth rate over the last 5 years to detect firms with consistent and aggressive growth in their prospects to screen for healthy dividends, but these risks remain.
