In selecting investments, the Fund employs a proprietary 10/10 test-designed to identify companies that increase their dividend by 10% per year on average, for 10 years in a row.* The 10/10 Test is designed to select stocks based on dividend growth and dividend stability.

The Fund invests in rising dividend stocks and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)-which can potentially provide investors with rising income and portfolio diversification.

The Rising Dividend Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.
