Dean’s Equity Income product is a fixed income alternative with a primary objective to generate income while keeping pace with inflation. The portfolio comprises low-risk, high dividend yielding stocks which provide a constant stream of income. Securities are selected through a bottom-up, value driven process which pinpoints quality companies with compelling valuations and strong fundamentals. Stocks are chiefly selected for the size and the security of their dividends, so that during a market downturn a stock’s dividend payment would not be materially affected. The steady flow of dividends creates a cushion in down markets while allowing the principal to grow during times of economic expansion.
