DIVERSIFICATION
• Greater access to different markets within different economic cycles
• More global stocks going ex-dividend in every month of the year
• The top 6 yielding stocks in Australia provide approximately 50% of ASX 200 income (Plato Research)
IMPROVED ASSET ALLOCATION
• Diversification across industries such as energy, electronics, software and telecommunications
• In comparison to Australian stocks, where the top dividend payers are dominated by banks and telcos (Plato Research)
• More opportunity for capital appreciated leading into ex-dividend dates (also called dividend run-up)
OTHER
• Investment expertise – access to Plato’s investment expertise and quantitative portfolio optimisation techniques;
• Regular distributions – investors in the Fund have the right to receive distributions which are usually paid monthly; and
