Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD?
The Fund’s investment strategy seeks both capital appreciation and a high level of dividend income. During the Period, the Fund underperformed the overall U.S. equity market as enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) drove outsized gains in the generally lower-yielding technology sector.
Multiple themes impacted dividend stock performance during the period. High interest rates offered income-oriented investors alternative investment opportunities, such as long-duration bonds and money market funds. The level of interest rates also raised concerns about dividend-paying companies’ ability to maintain their dividends as interest expense increased. This combination led to decreased investor interest in dividend stocks and reduced demand, and consequently underperformance, for the types of companies owned by the Fund.
The Fund generated positive performance over the period. In terms of security selection, the Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Industrials sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s performance, while the Materials, Health Care, and Energy sectors offset some of the Fund’s performance. We expect the Fund to continue executing on its quantitative investment strategy over the next year as the Federal Reserve moves to lower interest rates and dividend stocks become more in demand.
