The MP63 (DRIPX) Fact Sheet 1st Quarter March 31, 2023
The MP63 (DRIPX) is a diversified mutual Fund that allows individual investors to put money into a wide range of companies that offer Dividend Reinvestment Plans, in a simple, low-cost, low-beta, low-turnover portfolio of dividend paying stocks, carefully selected by experienced managers.
Portfolio and Strategy: The Fund focuses on companies (in a wide range of industries) with strong brands and competitive advantages, with long histories of paying and increasing dividends, that also have the likelihood of continuing to pay and increase dividends in the future. MP63 is the only mutual Fund focused on companies that offer Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs), and it is managed by an expert on the field of DRIPs, with more than 20 years of experience.
Costs and Fees: The Fund has a no-load structure, so it is available directly to investors, with no brokers or commissions. However, should shareholders wish to hold shares within a brokerage account, the Fund appears on the Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade platforms. Those brokers charge their own fees.

The Fund doesn’t charge a 12b-1 fee (a fee associated with promotion or advertising).

Investing in the Fund:
General Risks You could lose money investing in the Fund. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them because the value of Fund investments vary from day-to-day, Risks of Investing in Common Stocks Individual companies may not perform as anticipated, stock markets may experience periods of turbulence and instability, and domestic and global economies are subject to periods of decline and cyclical change.
Large-Size Company Risks Larger companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may be unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies.
Mid-Size Company Risks Medium-sized companies may be more volatile because they may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies.
Focused Portfolio Risks Any negative changes inheret to companies that offer dividend reinvestment plans might result in a greater negative impact to the Fund than a Fund that holds a larger array of securities.
