The strategy underperformed the benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index, this quarter, but still surpassed the index in dividend growth. The underperformance was due to a lack of significant exposure to the AI/TMT sector or the Value sector, which provides advantages stemming from the Federal Reserve's rate cut. The portfolio returned 15% dividend growth over the trailing 12 months, driven by the strong underlying fundamentals.
