HIDV actively aims for consistent returns and income by identifying certain styles and factors complimenting high dividend-paying US companies. The adviser employs a systemic approach that screens for stocks considered fundamentally sound and pay high dividends. The investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation and consistent income generation. A few quantitative metrics considered include dividend yield, balance sheet quality, and share price momentum. While the fund has an all-cap stock exposure, it may also invest in derivatives such as options, futures contracts, forwards, and swaps, for risk reduction (hedge) and portfolio efficiency. The fund is non-diversified.
