Principal Investment Strategy

The Trust consists of a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying equity securities that have historically increased their dividends. The Sponsor believes that dividends are often a good indicator of a corporation’s current financial condition and furthermore, may signal management’s belief in a profitable future for the corporation.

Selection Criteria

The Sponsor selects U.S.-traded companies that it believes should be core holdings of a well-diversified dividend-paying portfolio as of the Trust’s initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”). To select the portfolio the Sponsor follows a disciplined process that includes both quantitative screening and qualitative analysis.

The Sponsor begins with a universe of all dividend paying companies traded in the United States as of the date of the security selection. The Sponsor then reduces the universe to approximately 100 companies by performing quantitative screening, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:

  • Dividend Growth.The Sponsor favors companies with a history of dividend growth.
  • Cash Dividend Coverage. The Sponsor favors companies with a recent history of increasing dividend coverage ratios (defined as funds from operations relative to cash dividends to common shareholders).
  • Growth. The Sponsor may screen for companies with a history of (and prospects for) above average growth of dividends, sales and earnings.
  • Profitability. The Sponsor may screen for companies with a history of consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.

From this universe of approximately 100 companies, the Sponsor identifies approximately 25 companies for inclusion in the portfolio through a qualitative analysis based on factors such as, but not limited to:

  • Cash-flow Adequacy. The Sponsor favors companies with recent earnings and operating cash-flow significantly higher than the dividends paid as of the company’s most recent financial reporting period.
  • Balance Sheet. The Sponsor favors companies that possess overall financial strength and exhibit balance sheet improvements relative to their peers and the marketplace.
  • Valuation. The Sponsor favors companies whose valuations appear to be attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow.
  • Industry Leadership. The Sponsor favors companies that possess a strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers.
  • Growth. The Sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) above average growth of dividends, sales and earnings.

Risks and Other Considerations

As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the Trust. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:

  • Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the Trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
  • Due to the current state of the economy, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers. Starting in December 2007, economic activity declined across all sectors of the economy, and the United States experienced increased unemployment. The economic crisis affected the global economy with European and Asian markets also suffering historic losses. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the governments of several leading countries to combat the economic crisis; however, the impact of these measures is not yet fully known and cannot be predicted.
  • The Trust includes securities of companies in the consumer products sector. General risks of companies in the consumer products sector include cyclicality of revenues and earnings, economic recession, currency fluctuations, changing consumer tastes, extensive competition, product liability litigation and increased government regulation. A weak economy and its effect on consumer spending would adversely affect companies in the consumer products sector.
  • Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
  • The Trust invests in securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of larger capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.
  • The Trust invests in a U.S.-listed foreign security. The Trust’s investment in a U.S.-listed foreign security presents additional risk. Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of domestic securities. More specifically, foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls with respect to certain industries or differing legal and/or accounting standards.
  • Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.
  • The Sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may, when creating additional units, continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.
