GDIV

GDIV seeks long-term capital appreciation by targeting dividend-paying stocks in domestic and foreign developed markets, displaying both history of dividend payments and dividend growth potential. The fund actively manages a portfolio of 30-50 large-cap stocks, broadly diversified across all sectors, and limits its foreign exposure to 35% of the fund's net assets. During the selection process, eligible securities are identified using a bottom-up approach wherein companies are evaluated based on fundamental criteria covering earnings, free cash flow, valuation, and return of capital priorities. Securities must also possess certain quantitative and qualitative characteristics to be included, such as high quality balance sheets, good capital stewardship, consistent free cash flow generation, and history of increasing dividends. GDIV was converted from the Westfield Capital Dividend Growth Fund, an open-ended mutual fund, to an ETF with $148 million in assets.
