Globally Diversified Income

Cultivating the growth of dividends for almost two decades

The Investment Income Builder Fund has been able to deliver a consistent income stream to clients while continuing to grow their principal.

We believe that the power of dividends combined with our active approach can serve two goals:

  1. Help meet short-term funding needs, such as retirement income or foundation distributions.
  2. Contribute significantly to long-term growth to help make a future income stream last.
