Under normal market conditions, NDVG invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets in dividend-paying exchange-traded equity securities, which include common stocks and preferred securities. Companies in certain economic sectors of the market have historically provided higher dividend yields than companies in other sectors and industries. As a result, given the Fund’s focus on dividend-paying securities, the Fund may, from time to time, have a greater exposure to these higher dividend-yield sectors and industries than the broad equity market. The Fund defines dividend-paying equities as equity securities that have paid a dividend within the trailing twelve months and/or announced a dividend to be paid in the next twelve months at the time of purchase.
