About HDOGX
Hennessy Total Return Fund Investor Class is a multi-asset mutual fund that pursues both capital appreciation and current income. The fund strategically invests in U.S. equity and fixed income securities, typically allocating about 75% of assets to high-yield, blue-chip companies and 25% to U.S. Treasury securities. It follows the contrarian “Dogs of the Dow” approach, focusing on the 10 highest dividend-yielding stocks within the Dow Jones Industrial Average. To enhance equity exposure, the fund employs a borrowing strategy—often through reverse repurchase agreements—allowing it to maintain a higher proportion of equities relative to its net assets. This balanced structure aims to provide broad equity market participation while moderating volatility through Treasury holdings. The fund is managed by an experienced team and is positioned within the moderate allocation category, serving investors seeking a mix of income, capital preservation, and long-term growth potential. Regular quarterly income distributions and an annual capital gains payout further define its role in diversified portfolios, especially for those preferring disciplined, income-oriented investment strategies focused on established U.S. companies.
