About SOPAX

ClearBridge Dividend Strategy Fund Class A is a mutual fund that seeks a blend of dividend income, dividend growth, and long-term capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests in common stocks of high-quality companies with attractive or improving dividend profiles, aiming to deliver consistent income and potential growth to its shareholders. At least 80% of its net assets are allocated to equity securities or similar investments that either pay dividends or are anticipated to initiate dividends over time, with up to 50% exposure to foreign issuers through direct investments or depositary receipts. Characterized as a large value fund, its portfolio typically emphasizes well-established companies across diverse sectors, including technology, financial services, energy, consumer defensive, utilities, healthcare, and communication services. Notable holdings often include industry leaders like Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, and Exxon Mobil. The fund distributes dividends on a quarterly basis and adheres to a disciplined, patient investment approach, focusing on capital preservation during market downturns while capturing competitive returns over the long run. This fund serves as an option for investors seeking exposure to blue-chip dividend payers within a diversified structure.
