About HDCAX
Rational Equity Armor Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on total return, with a significant emphasis on dividend income. The fund primarily invests in common stocks of dividend-paying companies included in the S&P 500 Index, providing exposure to a broad cross-section of large-cap U.S. equities. In addition to these core holdings, the fund may allocate up to 20% of its assets to futures contracts on the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) and related instruments, as well as cash and equivalents, to serve as a volatility hedge against its equity positions. The portfolio construction leverages a rules-based, quantitative approach based on a wide array of macroeconomic, monetary, interest rate, and international factors, aiming to identify stocks with strong return potential and low volatility. This dual approach, combining dividend-focused stock selection with a volatility hedging overlay, positions the fund uniquely in the marketplace for investors seeking a balance between income, capital appreciation, and downside risk mitigation within the U.S. equity market landscape.
