1. Target high and consistent income

Backed by a 10-year track record of delivering high income, the Fund uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze traditional and alternative data to identify global dividend opportunities. We harvest income from two main sources:

Dividends from equities

Targeting consistent dividend payers, with the potential for dividend growth

Premiums from covered call strategy

Supplementing yield with an additional income source

2. AI-driven stock selection

Systematic investing combines big data and advanced AI to uncover insights and income opportunities across global markets. By analyzing more than 1,000 signals — including alternative data such as internet search trends, social media activity, and geolocation data — this approach goes beyond traditional company fundamentals to build a diversified portfolio of over 300 holdings and identify new sources of alpha.

3. Protect returns during volatility

The Fund uses volatility controls to participate in market upside while aiming to limit losses during periods of market stress. Over time, this approach has contributed to lower volatility compared with peers over a five-year period¹.

This disciplined risk management is backed by a global team of over 220 systematic investment, research and data professionals.
