About NSDVX

The North Star Dividend Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on generating dividend income through investments primarily in small-cap U.S. companies. Its principal strategy involves selecting stocks with market capitalizations under $2.5 billion that have a proven history of paying and growing dividends. The fund is part of the small-cap value category, aiming for a blend of consistent income and a secondary goal of capital appreciation. Typically holding around 50 stocks with a median market cap of $670 million, the fund maintains a diversified portfolio to help manage risk within the volatile small-cap segment. Managed with a moderate turnover rate, it seeks companies known for strong dividend yields—often above 3%—and reliability in distributions. North Star Dividend Fund Class I appeals to investors interested in income generation within the equity market, while also providing exposure to the growth potential of smaller companies. The fund distributes dividends monthly, reinforcing its commitment to income-focused investing and fulfilling a distinct role for those seeking regular payouts combined with the potential for long-term capital growth in the small-cap arena.
