What makes this pool unique?

The pool uses artificial intelligence to out-perform the market.

The portfolio manager uses artificial intelligence to help identify stocks with remarkable dividend growth potential.

Quality companies with high dividend growth are uncommon – that’s why this pool owns just 4% of the companies in the S&P 500.

Long-term outperformance.

The strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 15 years without ever owning any of the FAANGs.

*The S&P 500 Total Return Index (“the Benchmark) is the headline index for the US equity market, including dividend reinvestment, in US dollars.  This index is provided for information only and comparisons to the index has limitations.  The Benchmark is an appropriate standard against which the performance of the VPI Dividend Growth Pool (“the Pool”) can be measured over longer time periods as it represents the primary investment environment from which the Portfolio Manager selects securities.  The strategy of the Pool is based on selecting securities that have high expect dividend growth, that are also of high quality and reasonable valuations.  Although there are similarities, the Benchmark is a broad stock index that includes both dividend and non dividend paying equities that is weighted based on market capitalization.  Therefore, performance deviations relative to the Benchmark may be significant.  The Pool also has concentrated investments in a limited number of companies compared to the Benchmark.  As a result, a change in one security’s value may have more effect on the Pool’s value as compared to the Benchmark.
