GAADX Investment Objective and Strategy
Guinness Atkinson Asia Pacific Dividend Builder Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Guinness Atkinson Funds.
Investment objective
The Asia Pacific Dividend Builder Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with dividend income and long-term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
The Asia Pacific Dividend Builder Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-producing equity securities of Asia Pacific companies. The Fund seeks to allow investors the opportunity to profit from the transition of Asia Pacific economies as they move from developing to developed economies. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. In the Advisor's view, investing in dividend-paying stocks permits investors to gain access to the more established companies in the region. The Advisor seeks to invest in companies that have returned a real cash flow return on investment of at least 8% for each of the last eight years, and, in the opinion of the Advisor, are likely to grow their dividend over time.
Under normal market conditions the Asia Pacific Dividend Builder Fund will invest in at least four different countries, which include but are not limited to Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. The Fund's concentration may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria) although the Advisor has a bias towards concentration. The degree of concentration of the portfolio will vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Advisor will invest the Fund's assets in securities of all market capitalization companies that are dividend-producing and in companies domiciled in the Asia Pacific region, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets.
Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund is designed for investors who seek dividend income and long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in dividend-producing stocks of Asia Pacific companies.
