Athena Dividend Income

Each month, all stocks, REITs and CEFs in the equity universe are assigned a score. Those that receive the highest scores are those held by the top managers with highest levels of conviction.  Those with the highest scores that meet additional dividend income criteria are then selected for inclusion in the portfolio and are sold when the score drops below a predetermined level or no longer meet the dividend income criteria.
Each month, stocks are screened and selected based on a Dividend Valuation criteria and Athena Stock Diamond Ratings, which measure the quality and relative portfolio position which a given equity is held by high quality active equity managers. Stocks that no longer meet the criteria are sold and replaced with qualifying stocks.  This model will invest in stocks, REITs and CEFs to generate yield.
The research is based on Athena’s Strategy Based Research and Powerful 5 Diamond Rating System. Comprehensive Buy Side Analysis is used to capture portfolio manager skill with Strategy Identification, Strategy Consistency and Strategy Focus measurement.
Funds are fully invested in equity with less than 5% in cash.
Stocks that suspend dividends, fail to meet Athena's Dividend Valuation criteria, or fall below a predetermined score, based on manager quality and conviction measurements, are sold and replaced with high dividend-paying, highly rated stocks.
None.
