About ENHCX
Cullen Enhanced Equity Income Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating current income and long-term capital appreciation through a distinctive combination of high-dividend equities and options strategies. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying common stocks of medium- to large-capitalization companies, typically targeting those with robust earnings growth and above-average dividend yields. Sector emphasis is placed on companies considered undervalued based on traditional value metrics, such as low price-to-earnings ratios, while maintaining significant exposure to equity market risk. A key characteristic of this fund is its use of derivative income strategies, with managers writing short-term covered call options on approximately 25-40% of the portfolio. This options overlay is designed to enhance income by capturing call premiums, thereby potentially offering a higher yield than typical equity funds and reducing overall portfolio volatility. The fund’s returns are influenced by both equity performance and call-writing outcomes, making it suitable for investors seeking a blend of income and moderate equity market exposure. Overall, Cullen Enhanced Equity Income Fund Class C plays a role in providing diversified, income-oriented exposure to U.S. equities, appealing especially to those interested in systematic income generation within the equity space.
