New Ratings

M&G (Lux) Global Dividend Fund – Silver

Jeffrey Schumacher

We have initiated coverage with a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver. We already rated the UK version of the fund, which also carries a Silver Morningstar Analyst Rating. The fund is one of our favourite options for growth-oriented dividend investors. Much of the conviction is based on lead manager Stuart Rhodes, who we think is a talented manager.

He has been at the helm for over a decade and has remained true to his style even in tough markets. Rhodes invest in three different type of dividend stocks that provide different levels of dividend growth and behave differently in various markets.

The portfolio is typically tilted towards cyclical companies, mid-caps, and from time to time emerging markets. This more aggressive characteristic has resulted in a higher risk profile, but on a risk-adjusted basis the strategy has beaten its category average and the MSCI World High Dividend Yield index since inception.
