This investment vehicle is designed for investors seeking exposure to a diversified portfolio of global companies that exhibit strong quality characteristics and offer high dividend yields. It aims to replicate the performance of a specific global index that includes stocks from both developed and emerging markets. The core strategy involves a multi-factor approach that first identifies companies based on their financial health and stability, and then selects those with a strong track record and prospect of paying attractive dividends. This methodology provides a balanced exposure to companies that not only generate income but are also fundamentally sound, aiming to deliver a combination of income and long-term capital growth.

The portfolio construction process is systematic and rules-based, beginning with a broad universe of global equities. Companies are rigorously screened using a proprietary 'Quality Score', which evaluates metrics such as profitability, cash flow, and balance sheet strength to eliminate fundamentally weak businesses. From this filtered pool of high-quality companies, the strategy then selects the securities offering the highest dividend yields. This dual-screening process is crucial as it seeks to avoid so-called 'dividend traps'—companies with unsustainably high yields that may signal underlying financial distress. The result is a portfolio of what are intended to be robust, well-managed businesses with the capacity for sustainable dividend payments.

This approach may be suitable for investors looking to enhance the income-generating potential of their portfolio while maintaining a focus on quality to mitigate risk. The global diversification helps spread risk across different geographic regions and economic cycles. As an accumulating share class, all dividends paid by the underlying companies are automatically reinvested back into the fund, which is ideal for those with a long-term investment horizon who wish to benefit from the power of compounding without generating immediate taxable income events. It provides a convenient and cost-effective way to access a professionally managed strategy focused on two of the most historically rewarding equity factors: quality and high dividend yield.
