About STREX

Sterling Capital Equity Income Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund focused on providing both capital growth and current income through investments primarily in high-quality, dividend-paying equities. Managed using fundamental analysis, the fund targets companies with strong balance sheets, reasonable valuations, and a consistent track record of dividend growth—specifically, firms that have increased dividends for at least three consecutive years or six of the past ten years. The portfolio is concentrated, typically holding 30 to 35 core positions, and seeks to include stocks with dividend yields exceeding that of the S&P 500 Index. In addition to dividend-paying stocks, the fund may invest in convertible securities and occasionally writes covered call options to generate additional income, though this can limit upside potential. The fund’s holdings span large-cap companies across sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and consumer goods. Sterling Capital Equity Income Fund Class R6 is often utilized by retirement plans and institutional investors seeking exposure to large value equities with an emphasis on income generation and relative capital stability.
