About FRDRX

The fund tends to favor companies that reinvest earnings judiciously, paying out dividends while maintaining healthy retention for growth. Serving as part of the large blend category, it provides diversification across various sectors in the U.S. equity market and benchmarks its performance against indices such as the S&P 500.
