Dividend Growth

Description

Eventide’s Dividend Growth Strategy seeks to provide current income, income growth, and long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of the portfolio's assets in companies that we believe have the ability to increase dividends over the long term and whose long-term success is tied to their own ability to create value, rather than to macroeconomic or industry performance. We seek to invest in high-quality companies that are creating value for society, with excellent management teams and sustainable competitive advantages, in attractive industries.
