Objective
The Cullen High Dividend Equity Fund (the "High Dividend Fund") seeks longterm capital appreciation and current income. Capital appreciation is a primary objective and current income is a secondary objective.
Strategy Overview
The High Dividend Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets primarily in dividend paying common stocks of medium- and large capitalization companies. As a point of comparison, a high dividend common stock that the High Dividend Fund would invest in would generally have a dividend yield greater than the average dividend yield of the equity securities in the S&P 500® Stock Index.
The High Dividend Fund generally invests substantially all of its assets in common stocks. The High Dividend Fund invests roughly similar amounts of its assets in each stock in the portfolio at the time of original purchase, although the portfolio is not systematically rebalanced. This approach avoids the overweighting of any individual security being purchased. The Adviser may sell portfolio stocks when they are no longer attractive based on their growth potential, dividend yield or price.
As part of its strategy, the High Dividend Fund, in order to generate additional income, will selectively write covered call options when it is deemed to be in the Fund's best interest. A call option is a short-term contract entitling the purchaser, in return for a premium paid, the right to buy the underlying equity security at a specified price upon exercise of the option at any time prior to its expiration. Writing a covered call option allows the High Dividend Fund to receive a premium. A call option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying equity stock from the writer of the option at a given price during a specific period.
The High Dividend Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in foreign securities. These investments are generally made in American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), which trade on U.S. exchanges. ADRs may be purchased through "sponsored" or "unsponsored" facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depository, whereas a depository may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the depository security. Holders of unsponsored depository receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts.
