Why Amundi US?
Key features of the Amundi US Dividend Equity Strategy include:
- Consistent, disciplined philosophy and process: The Strategy has held to the same investment philosophy since its inception, and its consistent performance and holdings attribution are evidence of the team's disciplined approach.
- Risk-adjusted returns and downside risk focus: Consistent with the philosophy and focus on higher-quality companies, the Strategy has outperformed the Russell 1000® Growth Index in many of the recent calendar year down markets.
- Low volatility approach: The companies in which the team typically invests have lower-than-average volatility in their business results, which may result in lower stock volatility. Valuation analysis is an important part of the team's security selection process, which typically helps mitigate volatility.
- Definition of value: The Strategy distinguishes itself by defining value as the combination of the existing cash flow yield of a business and the level and sustainability of returns on incremental invested capital.
- Concentrated portfolio: The Strategy has exposure to high-conviction stocks, diversified1 across sectors, and poised to outperform over the long term.
