About EQTKX

Shelton Equity Income Fund Class K is a mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of income alongside capital appreciation, prioritizing income generation through investments in income-producing U.S. equity securities. It primarily targets mid- to large-cap U.S. corporations known for relatively high dividend yields compared to peers in their industries, maintaining a diversified portfolio of around 124 equity holdings with significant North American exposure, particularly domestic stocks comprising over 95% of long positions. A key strategy involves selling covered call options on approximately 117 positions, with an average expiration of 34 days, to produce additional cash flow and boost shareholder distributions, which have averaged about 2.2-2.6% quarterly over recent years. This derivative income approach places it in the Derivative Income category, earning top Morningstar ratings of 5 stars overall, with strong risk-adjusted returns relative to peers. Managed by Shelton Capital Management since its inception in 2003, the fund features a net expense ratio of 1.19% and no front or back-end loads, emphasizing income stability over aggressive growth while acknowledging risks like limited upside in bull markets and derivative volatility.
