- EuroPac International Dividend Income Fund - Class I (EPDIX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Euro Pacific Asset Management, LLC that seeks to provide investors with a potentially low-volatility portfolio focused primarily on sustainable and growing dividend income from non-U.S. companies. The fund invests in equity securities of foreign issuers across all market capitalizations, with a value-oriented approach emphasizing companies with strong balance sheets, reliable dividend payment capabilities, and long-term growth potential in industries such as basic materials, consumer staples, communications, utilities, and financials; its portfolio features holdings like Barrick Gold Corp., Newmont Corp., British American Tobacco PLC, Vodafone Group PLC, and IAMGOLD Corp., with significant geographic exposure to Canada, Britain, France, Spain, Australia, and Norway. Class I shares (EPDIX) cater to institutional and high-minimum investors, while Class A shares (EPDPX) are available with a higher expense ratio; the fund pays quarterly dividends, with a recent yield of approximately 3.09% and the latest ex-dividend date on March 28, 2025.
Euro Pacific Asset Management, LLC, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dorado, Puerto Rico, serves as the investment adviser, offering five international mutual fund strategies with a contrarian, non-U.S. dollar-centric philosophy led by Chief Economist Peter Schiff and portfolio managers James Nelson and Patrick Rien, who have managed the fund since its inception on January 10, 2014.
In recent developments, the fund has maintained its focus on high-quality dividend payers amid market volatility, with updated portfolio allocations as of September 30, 2025, showing increased emphasis on mining and precious metals amid global economic shifts; it continues quarterly dividend distributions, including a $0.0816 per share payment declared in March 2025, reflecting sustained income generation without reported acquisitions, mergers, or major strategic reorganizations for the adviser in the last 1-2 years.
