Guardian Capital Dividend Growth Fund (DIVGX)
Fund Overview and Objectives
Placing particular focus on earnings growth, dividend growth and dividend quality.
The adviser employs a systematic, bottom-up approach to seek out companies that the adviser believes have the potential for both capital growth and sustainable dividend yield. This quantitative approach integrates proprietary artificial intelligence models to analyze fundamental factors, relative value and capital growth potential of companies within a broad universe of stocks.
The adviser combines artificial and human intelligence to construct a high-conviction portfolio of what the adviser believes are best-in-breed companies globally, broadly diversified by sector and region.
The primary objective of the Fund is the achievement of attractive dividend income coupled with long-term growth of capital, primarily through investment in a portfolio of equity or equity-related securities of issuers with business operations located throughout the world.
