About SMDLX

The ClearBridge Tactical Dividend Income Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund that primarily focuses on generating high current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diverse portfolio of income-producing equity and equity-related securities, including dividend-paying stocks, master limited partnerships (MLPs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Its approach is both tactical and diversified, seeking steady dividend income by actively managing allocations across sectors and market capitalizations. The investment process employs a combination of bottom-up and top-down analysis, leveraging proprietary research to identify value opportunities, particularly among U.S. companies considered to be socially conscious and environmentally responsible. The fund’s portfolio tends to concentrate notable positions in large-cap, value-oriented businesses while maintaining exposure to multiple industries. By benchmarking against indices such as the Russell 3000 and the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, the fund aims to deliver a blend of income stability and market participation for income-focused investors.
