Amundi US Dividend Equity Strategy

Our Amundi US Dividend Equity Strategy invests at least 80% of its assets in income producing US equity securities. The Strategy also may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities-most of which are expected to be converted into common stocks. The Strategy seeks securities selling at a discount to their underlying values and then holds these securities until the market values reflect their intrinsic values. 

                              

                        

                       

Our Amundi US Dividend Equity Strategy is an actively managed, value-oriented, large-cap equity strategy focused on high-quality, US dividend-paying`1 equity securities. The portfolio management team looks for well-established companies that have shown or produced exemplary dividend growth over the long term and commitment to continuing potential dividend payments.
