Description of Strategy
The Fund intends to pursue its investment objective by investing in equity securities of companies with a mid-size market capitalization and that currently pay, or are reasonably expected to pay, dividends to shareholders. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest no less than 80% of its net assets in “dividend-paying” common stocks and other equity type securities (including preferred stock, convertible debt securities and warrants) of “mid-cap” companies, which the Adviser currently defines as securities within the range of the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment.
Investment Objective
The KEELEY Mid Cap Dividend Value Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Why Invest
We focus our research efforts across a broad array of dividend-paying stocks. In evaluating the overall quality of a company, we view the investment universe in four distinct areas. Depending on company-specific valuations – as well as the current macroeconomic environment, we categorize equities into each of these groups: 1) Attractive, 2) Growers, 3) Solid-Steady and 4) High-Yield. From these four categories, fundamental research helps our team assess the sustainability of a dividend by analyzing the company’s cash flow, balance sheet and dividend history.
