| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management's Discussion of Fund Performance The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to the MSCI World ex USA Index (the “Index”) to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes. The Fund seeks to provide income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies based in countries outside the United States, consisting principally of high dividend-paying stocks with dividend growth potential. Top Contributors to Performance The Fund provided a dividend yield more than 50% higher than that of the Index which contributed positively to Fund relative performance. Stock selection in the Energy sector contributed positively to relative performance. Outperformers included TC Energy, Enbridge and Pembina Pipeline. The Fund’s stock selection and a relative underweight position in the Consumer Discretionary sector was also a positive contributor to performance as the strategy remained focused on companies providing sustainable, growing dividends. These defensive features remained relatively uncommon among companies within the Consumer Discretionary sector. Stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector was also a positive contributor to performance, driven by robust performance from Philip Morris, British American Tobacco and Unilever. Top Detractors from Performance The Fund’s largest detractor to performance was stock selection in the Communication Services sector. While the Fund’s investments in the sector are focused within the defensive, dividend-fertile Telecommunication Services industry group, the sector’s top performers were low-yielding digital content providers such as Sea Limited, Konami and REA Group and, therefore, were not held by the Fund. Stock selection and the underweight position in the Financials sector was also a detractor to performance. The Fund’s position in Scor SE detracted the most over the reporting period, while the Index’s top performers within the Financials sector, NatWest Group, Barclays and MS&AD Insurance Group, were not held by the Fund. Stock selection and the underweight position in the Industrials sector was also a relative detractor to performance, as top performers in the Index, Siemens Energy, Kongsberg Gruppen and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, either did not pay a dividend or paid a dividend notably lower than the Fund’s minimum threshold and, therefore, were not held by the Fund. |
