About HBFBX
The Hennessy Balanced Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund that seeks to provide both capital appreciation and current income through a balanced portfolio. It allocates about 50% of its assets to the ten highest dividend-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, commonly known as the "Dogs of the Dow," and the remaining 50% to U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of less than one year. This approach aims to capture income and growth from equities while limiting volatility and market risk with high-quality fixed income exposure. The fund falls within the moderately conservative allocation category, making it suitable for investors seeking a blend of equity and bond exposure while prioritizing capital preservation. Established in 1996, it pays dividends quarterly and capital gains annually, and its holdings are predominantly U.S.-based blue-chip companies and government securities. The fund is non-diversified and quantitatively managed, reflecting a disciplined, rules-based investment process focused on high-yield, stable companies and government-backed debt.
