About ZDIVX
Zacks Dividend Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on delivering both capital appreciation and dividend income by investing primarily in U.S. companies that regularly pay dividends. Under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities such as common and preferred stocks, rights, and warrants. Its investment approach combines fundamental and quantitative analysis, with an emphasis on identifying undervalued companies based on earnings, dividends, and other financial measures.
The fund typically targets large-cap companies—those with market capitalizations of $10 billion or more—across various sectors, including financial services, technology, energy, consumer defensive, and industrials. Notable holdings frequently include well-established firms like JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and Exxon Mobil. As part of the "large value" category, the fund seeks to invest in stocks that are considered inexpensive relative to their fundamentals and that often exhibit slower growth but stable dividend yields.
Managed by Zacks Investment Management since 2014, the fund stands out for its disciplined approach to dividend investing and offers quarterly distributions. It plays a key role for investors seeking exposure to established, dividend-paying U.S. companies within a diversified mutual fund structure.
