Fund objective

What this fund aims to achieve and how it is classified.

The Dividend Growth Fund is an actively managed fund which aims to achieve growth through capital gains and income, from participation in a managed portfolio of equities, the dividend yields of which tend to be higher than their markets' dividend yield and, in addition, have the capacity to further increase dividends. The fund, which will be well diversified, will seek to invest in high calibre equities. It will seek to avoid companies where the divid end payments are deemed to be unsustainable. Dividends received by the fund are reinvested in the fund. For tactical reasons the fund may also invest in cash or cash equivalents. This fund invests some of its assets outside the eurozone so a currency risk arises for a euro investor. As the fund is managed from the point of view of a euro investor any currency hedging that may be conducted will be into euros. This fund is managed by Zurich Life.
