International Dividend Payers Equity Strategy

The strategy seeks to outperform the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) with attractive risk-adjusted performance over the long term. It targets a higher dividend yield relative to the S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE Indexes and with beta relative to the MSCI EAFE Index (Net).

Quality franchises

The team invests in best-in-class companies with resilient business models, exceptional management, financial strength, and prudent capital allocation.

Dividend is fact, yield is opportunity

Dividend yield is analyzed as a valuation signal to assess market sentiment and pricing opportunity.

Best of both worlds

A portfolio of dividend payers and growers can provide investors with both ballast and opportunity, as well as income, growth, and lower volatility.

Investment approach

Resilient companies, resilient portfolios, resilient outcomes

The team identifies companies it views as best-in-class with resilient business models.

Purchase candidates are resilient companies the team determines offer an attractive relative-value opportunity and favorable dividend expectations.

Portfolios integrate both higher-yielding “payers” and lower-yielding “growers.”

The team seeks to meet income goals through stock selection, recognizing that for fairly priced stocks, higher growth expectations imply lower yields.

A collaborative team dynamic and disciplined portfolio construction drive consistent results.

The team capitalizes on deep investment experience and employs disciplined portfolio construction, allowing stock selection to drive relative return.

Resilient portfolios can help investors who rely on wealth to fund expenses achieve their goals.

The team strives to deliver growing income, defensive performance under stress, and competitive equity returns, helping clients maintain wealth and real income.

Key risks

Market risk: Security markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments with different sectors of the market and different security types reacting differently to such developments.

Equity securities risk: Equity securities fluctuate in value and price in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security, such as management performance, financial condition, and market demand for the issuer's products or services, as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition of the issuer, including general market, economic, and political conditions.

Small-cap securities risk: If a strategy invests in the securities of smaller-capitalization companies, these securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.

Foreign securities risk: If a strategy invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, these investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility, and risks related to adverse political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and may be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Investors should know that this strategy deployed may be subject to additional investment risks. For important information about the investment manager, please refer to Form ADV Part 2.
