- EuroPac International Dividend Income Fund - Class A (EPDPX) is a mutual fund that seeks income and to maximize growth of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of dividend-paying companies located in Europe or the Pacific Rim. The fund employs a top-down allocation approach to select fundamentally sound countries and currencies, combined with a bottom-up process to identify high-quality, undervalued companies capable of paying high and sustainable dividend yields that grow over time; it focuses on firms with strong balance sheets across sectors such as basic materials, consumer staples, communications, utilities, financials, and energy, primarily in mid-cap and large-cap value-oriented stocks from regions including Canada, Britain, France, Australia, and Norway. Class A shares (EPDPX) feature a net expense ratio of 1.52%, with a corresponding Class I share (EPDIX) at 1.27%; the fund maintains low portfolio turnover for tax efficiency and targets investors seeking low-volatility international dividend exposure outside the United States. Launched on January 10, 2014 and domiciled in the United States, the fund is managed by Euro Pacific Asset Management, LLC (EPAM), an independent investment adviser founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dorado, Puerto Rico. EPAM, led by Chief Economist and Global Strategist Peter Schiff, oversees approximately $190 million in total net assets for the fund as of recent data, with EPDPX representing the Class A share class; the firm provides similar strategies through separately managed accounts and other mutual funds like the EuroPac International Value Fund and EuroPac Gold Fund. The fund's portfolio as of September 30, 2025, includes top holdings such as Barrick Gold Corp (5.6%), Newmont Corp (4.5%), and British American Tobacco PLC (4.5%), emphasizing dividend sustainability over high yields to mitigate capital impairment risk. In 2025, the fund announced estimated year-end distributions including $0.05736 per Class A share in net investment income and $0.64438 per share in long-term capital gains, payable December 18, 2025, reflecting strong performance with a year-to-date trailing return of approximately 28% and assets under management growth. Recent portfolio updates as of September 30, 2025, show a weighted shift toward basic materials (29.3%) driven by gold miners amid sector opportunities, alongside sustained exposure to consumer staples (18.4%) and communications (15.3%); no major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic reorganizations were reported for EPAM or the fund in 2024-2025, maintaining focus on its core international dividend strategy without significant operational changes.
