  • OVERVIEW

    • Seeks to maximize total return through a combination of capital appreciation and dividend income.
    • Unlike most dividend strategies that invest in large capitalization stocks, Dividend Focus primarily invests in quality, mid-cap companies that pay growing dividends – not simply high current dividend yields.
    • Quality businesses that pay dividends typically generate more cash than they need for operations.
    • Dividends can provide stability during turbulent markets.
    • A growing dividend can be a good indicator of the health of a company and its potential for future success.
    • Targets a long holding period, typically 5+ years, which allows stocks to compound, resulting in low turnover and a tax efficient strategy.
    • We celebrated 25 years of service to our shareholders in 2021. Read 6 Key Lessons Learned along the way that have helped contribute to the Fund’s long-term success.

    • In the last 12 months, 22 out of 26 (85%) of holdings in our FAM Dividend Focus Fund increased their dividend with an average year-over-year increase of 8.6% (as of March 27, 2024). 
      See the Performance tab for more information.

    Dividends are not guaranteed and a company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited. See the prospectus for additional important information.
