Managed by Howard Capital Management, the fund targets dividend-paying equity securities from companies in the S&P 500, particularly those offering the highest yields within each of the index's ten major industry sectors. In addition to these core holdings, the fund employs a flexible strategy by investing in other investment companies such as mutual funds, closed-end funds, and ETFs, including those that utilize leverage, as well as maintaining allocations to cash and cash equivalents. The portfolio is actively managed, incorporating trend analysis and the proprietary HCM Buy-Line® model to tactically shift allocations between equities and cash for risk mitigation, especially during market downturns. Notably, the fund has the ability to leverage up to 33.3% of its assets, enhancing its exposure when conditions are favorable.
