Objective

The Utility folio was developed for investors seeking moderate capital appreciation and income with lower volatility.

Strategy

The Utility Folio consists of largest companies primarily engaged in the utility industry. Companies engaged in the utilities industry include those involved in the production, transmission or distribution of electricity, gas, telecommunications, and other related utility goods and services.

Utility companies have historically tended to be less volatile than the overall market and could provide a source of income or provide a hedge during a down market, since consumers are generally reliant on their services.

  3. We equally weighted all securities in the Folio.

Update Frequency

Quarterly

If the characteristics of the Folio have changed substantially, the securities included may change. Also, corporate actions, such as a merger, or other events may cause changes to the securities held at any time. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a folio has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings.
