Data from Ned Davis and Reality Shares Advisors. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
We believe dividend growth is the byproduct of cash rich, strong balance sheet companies managed by disciplined management teams
with strong opinions about future earnings growth.
So how can we predict which companies will grow and which companies will cut dividends?

Putting DIVCON to the test
11
Data from Ned Davis and Reality Shares Advisors. Past performance does not guarantee future results. * The DIVCON Leaders Dividend Index returns are based on back-tested results from Dec. 29, 2000 through Oct. 31, 2015, at the inception date of the index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Index methodology available upon request. Results are based on criteria applied retroactively with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected the performance, and cannot account for all financial risk that may affect the actual performance of the Fund. Actual Fund performance may vary significantly from these back-tested index returns. Any performance prior to the date of index inception is hypothetical.
The power of the DIVCON model is the ability to distinguish higher
quality companies from lower quality companies.

Benefits of Isolating the Dividend Growth Rate
Accessing the dividend growth rate of large-cap companies
The S&P 500 dividend growth rate has been positive in
40 of the last 43 years, and dividend growth has
outpaced share price growth and total return since 2000.
Low correlation
Isolated dividend growth is a fixed income replacement
offering capital appreciation potential while historically
delivering low correlation and low drawdowns across
market environments.
Low volatility
Since DIVY’s inception, the S&P 500 moved 1% or more
118 times (more than 1 out of every 4 days), while DIVY’s
NAV moved 1% only 14 times during the same timeframe.

rate risk associated with bonds and can potentially improve returns. A 10% allocation to DFND
maintains a similar overall equity exposure while the short equity hedge seeks to help to reduce
