The fund offers a dividend-weighted take on equities from developed markets outside the US and Canada, variably hedged for CAD investors. It holds dividend-paying stocks and employs growth and quality screens. The fund ranks stocks by quality (3-year average ROE and ROA) and growth (long-term earnings growth estimates). The top 300 names make the cut and receive weight according to the total of their annual cash dividend payouts. Each constituent is capped at 5% weight and no single country or sector receives more than 20% weight at the annual rebalance. Unlike any other currency-hedged funds, the fund mitigates currency risk using variable hedging strategy that ranges between 0 to 100%, adjusted monthly based on three quantitative signals: momentum, interest rate differentials and value.
