Fund highlights
  • Core equity investment: By investing in high-quality companies committed to sustainable and growing dividends, the portfolio may be a compelling starting point for an investor’s equity allocation
  • Differentiated approach: The portfolio owns fundamentally attractive but often overlooked dividend-paying companies with a broad range of yields, including those initiating dividends, driving enhanced diversification potential
  • Risk and reward balance: A disciplined focus has led to a long-term track record of managing risk and delivering competitive returns

Fund description

Fund data

Performance

  • Average annual total returns
  • Morningstar Ratings

Average annual total returns

Morningstar ratings

Morningstar ratings are based on historical risk-adjusted total returns, which are not indicative of future results.

Performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Net Asset Value (NAV) Total returns assume reinvestment of distributions, and if shown for a period of less than one year are cumulative. Market price returns are based on the closing market price on the date shown. Performance shown for the Since Inception period and prior to the inception of the ETF Share Class is based on the performance of the mutual fund's Class R6. Performance has been restated to reflect the expenses of the ETF Share Class.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price as opposed to net asset value. As a result, an investor may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. In addition, brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund shares are not individually redeemable directly with the Fund, but blocks of shares may be acquired from the Fund and tendered for redemption to the Fund by certain institutional investors in Creation Units.

Important information on risk

ETF investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Dividends are not guaranteed. Dividend-paying stocks, such as those held by the Fund, are subject to market risk, preferred security risk, and common stock risk. Smaller company stocks are subject to greater volatility. Foreign investments involve additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and lack of liquidity.

S&P 500 Index is an index generally considered representative of the U.S. equity market. The index includes 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may not be marketed or advertised as an open-end investment company or mutual fund.

The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. ©2026 Morningstar, Inc.
