About KNGAX
Vest S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Target Income Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund designed to blend consistent income generation with equity growth potential. The fund primarily invests in large and mid-cap U.S. companies known as 'Dividend Aristocrats'—firms within the S&P 500 Index that have a long-standing record of increasing dividends year after year. To enhance yield, the fund overlays an options strategy, collecting premiums that supplement regular dividend payments. This distinctive approach aims to provide investors with two diversified sources of income: traditional stock dividends and income from options premiums, all while seeking to retain much of equities’ potential for capital appreciation. The fund’s portfolio spans across various key economic sectors, including technology, industrials, consumer defensive, healthcare, and materials, thereby offering broad market exposure with a focus on quality and income stability. By combining proven dividend growth companies with an options income overlay, this fund serves a unique role for income-focused investors seeking an innovative alternative to traditional bond or equity income strategies.
