Key stats

SCDV seeks long-term dividend growth, downside protection, and total return through an actively managed portfolio of dividend-paying, US-listed small-cap equities. The fund includes common stocks issued by companies within the market cap range of the Russell 2000 Index that have paid dividends in the past 12 calendar months. The adviser particularly targets companies it believes have high-quality business models, sound capital allocation policies, reasonable valuations, and positive cash flow, aiming to provide improved downside protection relative to the broader small-cap equity market. The selection process follows a bottom-up approach, considering factors such as historical earnings, dividend growth, balance sheet, cash flow generation, and competitive position. Holdings are weighted based on the advisers assessment of company fundamentals, valuations, and overall economic conditions. The fund may include ADRs and REITs and has no industry constraints.
