The MP63 (DRIPX) Fact Sheet

4th Quarter December 30, 2022

 

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.

 

1. 1. The process of portfolio selection pays special attention to defensive stocks (companies with products and services we all need, regardless of the economic cycles).

 

1. 2. In a semi-passive approach, the Fund invests usually in 63 companies for the long or very long term. The Fund invests cash and reinvests the dividends in the companies that pay them on a routine basis over the year. In this way, the Fund benefits from market volatility by following a dollar-cost averaging approach—buying fewer shares at high prices and more shares when the market price is lower.

 

1. 3. The annual portfolio turnover ratio is about 6%, which is relatively low compared with funds in its category.

 

2. 4. By requiring no minimum initial investment and accepting subsequent investments of any amount--regardless of how small--the Fund facilitates the use of dollar-cost averaging by small investors who wish to acquire Fund shares over a long period of time.

 

2. 5. The Fund discourages trading by imposing a redemption fee on shares that are held for less than six months.

 

2. 6. The Fund managers have substantial investments in the Fund.

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.
