- Advisors Capital Total Return – Equity Fund (ACUSX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks total return through a portfolio primarily invested in dividend-paying common stocks of U.S. companies. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes to these equities, targeting companies across all market capitalizations and typically holding 30 to 50 stocks diversified across seven to ten sectors including technology, financial services, healthcare, industrials, and communication services; it may also include limited positions in cash equivalents such as iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF and non-U.S. stocks. Top holdings as of late 2025 include Broadcom Inc., Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc. Class A, Apple Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co., with technology representing over 23% of assets. Managed by Advisors Capital Management, LLC (ACM), an SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 1998 and headquartered in Ridgewood, New Jersey, the fund operates within ACM's broader offerings of customized equity and fixed income strategies for individuals, high-net-worth clients, and institutions through its ACM Wealth and Advisors Capital divisions. ACM serves clients nationwide, emphasizing a top-down macroeconomic analysis combined with bottom-up fundamental stock selection focused on growth at a reasonable price. Launched on February 1, 2021, and classified in the Morningstar Large Blend category with a net expense ratio of 1.88%, ACUSX had total net assets of approximately $268 million as of late 2025 and is available to U.S. investors with a minimum initial investment of $2,500. The fund is co-managed by Kevin Strauss (since inception) and David Lieberman (since January 2023). In recent developments, ACM advanced to the 59th position in Financial Advisor Magazine's 2025 ranking of top registered investment advisers based on assets under management as of December 31, 2024, reflecting sustained growth in its advisor-centric platform. The firm issued its Q1 2025 quarterly report highlighting continued emphasis on AI investments amid market volatility and disciplined fixed income positioning for potential economic downturns, while 13F filings as of early 2025 showed portfolio expansion to over $8 billion in discretionary assets with new positions in high-yield bond ETFs and select equities. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or structural changes for ACUSX were reported in the last 1-2 years.
