- Applied Finance Dividend Fund Investor Class (AFALX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks dividend income and long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks of companies with market capitalizations generally exceeding $3 billion at the time of purchase; it may also allocate to small- and mid-cap companies, convertible securities, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and other investment companies including exchange-traded funds. The fund employs the proprietary Economic Margin framework developed by its adviser to assess corporate performance, estimate intrinsic value, and select securities exhibiting attractive valuations, sustainable dividends, long-term growth potential, and favorable financial characteristics across a diversified spectrum of economic sectors such as financial services, healthcare, industrials, consumer defensive, and technology. Applied Finance Advisors, LLC, founded in 1995 as part of The Applied Finance Group in Chicago, Illinois, and now headquartered at 8730 Stony Point Parkway, Suite 205, Richmond, Virginia 23235, serves as the investment adviser, with Managing Members Paul Blinn and Rafael Resendes acting as portfolio managers since the fund's inception on June 2, 2006. The fund operates primarily in U.S. equities (approximately 93.65% allocation), with minor exposure to non-U.S. stocks (5.50%), cash (0.86%), and focuses on large-value strategies targeting institutional and retail investors through Investor Class (AFALX) and Institutional Class (AFAZX) shares. In recent developments, the fund maintained a low portfolio turnover rate of 12.78% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, issued its summary prospectus dated August 31, 2025 reflecting updated expense limitations (1.20% for Investor Class after waivers), and continued its strategy without reported acquisitions, partnerships, or reorganizations, while providing 2025 capital gains distribution estimates through affiliated resources.
