Investment strategy
The Fund invests in high quality large and mid-capitalisation stocks with high and persistent dividend income in developed countries in Europe. It seeks to track the performance of the LibertyQ European Dividend Index (the “Underlying Index”) as closely as possible. The Fund aims to replicate the Underlying Index by holding all of its securities in a similar proportion to their weighting in the Underlying Index. The holdings of the Underlying Index are selected from the MSCI Europe IMI ex REITs Index (the “Investment Universe”), using a transparent selection process which applies a dividend persistence and yield screen followed by a quality screen.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of an index composed of 30 stocks with leading dividend yields selected from companies in Eurozone countries.
