About DCSPX

The Dunham U.S. Enhanced Market Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation by providing exposure to the U.S. equity market. Managed by PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC, the fund employs a tactical investment strategy that aims to participate in the upside of the U.S. stock market, particularly the S&P 500 Index, while seeking to mitigate downside risk. Rather than investing directly in individual stocks, the fund gains equity exposure through the use of S&P 500 Index options, including FLEX Options and futures contracts. This derivatives-based approach allows the portfolio to adjust its market exposure dynamically based on trend analysis, economic data, and other market factors. In addition to options strategies, a portion of the fund is allocated to U.S. Treasury bonds and Treasury bond futures, further supporting risk management objectives. The fund's structure aims to buffer against significant market declines, although the correlation between fund returns and the S&P 500 may vary, particularly prior to options expiration periods. The Dunham U.S. Enhanced Market Fund Class C stands out in the market for its enhanced approach to equity participation, offering investors a blend of growth potential and risk mitigation.
