- Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund Class A (IDIVX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks to maximize total return by emphasizing high current income, consistent with preservation of capital, and long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend-paying equity securities, primarily large-cap value stocks of companies that have consistently increased dividends for at least 10 years, with a focus on blue-chip issuers offering high and rising income streams alongside below-average volatility; top sectors include technology (18.68%), financial services (17.83%), consumer defensive (15.57%), utilities (13.32%), and energy (12.34%), with leading holdings such as Broadcom Inc., NextEra Energy Inc., TC Energy Corp., Corning Inc., and Chevron Corp.; it maintains a portfolio of approximately 57 stocks, with 92.83% in U.S. equities and 7.17% in non-U.S. stocks, primarily from Canada and the United Kingdom. Share classes include Class A (front-end load of 5.00%, net expense ratio 0.95%), Class C, and Class I (IDHIX), with total net assets of approximately $563 million and quarterly dividend distributions.
Launched on May 1, 2012, and managed by a team at Integrity Viking Funds—Shannon Radke (senior portfolio manager since inception), Joshua Larson, Michael Morey (both since inception), and Trey Welstad (since 2015)—the fund is domiciled in the United States and distributed through Integrity Funds Distributor. Integrity Viking Funds, the fund family sponsor established in 1987 and headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, operates as a boutique asset manager focused on income-producing equity and fixed-income strategies for individual investors, registered investment advisors, and broker/dealers across the U.S..
In recent developments, Integrity Viking Funds completed the acquisition of two M.D. Sass funds in January 2020, merging the M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund into the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund via a tax-free reorganization, enhancing its scale and dividend-focused strategy.
