Overview
This actively managed, defensive equity fund invests in companies from across the globe that offer a high dividend yield.
The fund aims to generate additional income through call overwriting.
The fund focuses on quality factors to exclude low quality stocks, including the company’s ability to pay stable or growing dividends.
Local currency risks are largely hedged versus CHF.
The strategy is based on a quantitative model.
The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.
The distributing (-dist) share classes of this sub-fund intend to distribute capital (premiums from writing call options) as well as income (e.g. from dividends). See risk section below.
Benefits
Easy access to a high quality, defensive equity portfolio which aims to provide some downside cushion during market corrections.
Strong income component generated from dividends and call option premiums.
Investors can profit from a portfolio that seeks optimal diversification - low single stock weights and broad country and sector allocations.
Investors can largely avoid the impact from fluctuations of the local investment currencies versus USD.
