Equities ended December with a steady advance, closing out the year on firm footing. The S&P 500 gained ground despite a lighter economic calendar, as markets worked through typical year‑end positioning and continued signs of disinflation. The Federal Reserve maintained its data‑dependent posture, emphasizing flexibility rather than committing to near‑term policy shifts. Trading was uneven early in the month around the Federal Open Market Committee communications, but risk appetite improved into the final weeks. Leadership was concentrated in Technology, Industrials, and select artificial intelligence‑linked names. Treasury yields moved modestly lower as inflation expectations eased and the growth outlook remained stable. Looking ahead to 2026, resilient corporate earnings trends and moderating price pressures provide a constructive backdrop. Even so, investors remain sensitive to the trajectory of monetary policy and the pace of economic normalization in the coming year.
During December, DIVO returned -0.39%. while the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 0.06% and the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) returned 1.65%. Year-to-date, DIVO has returned 17.57%, while the S&P 500 has returned 17.88%. The Fund just trailed the S&P to close out the year, delivering strong performance. The Fund continues to be structurally underweight in information technology relative to the S&P 500, given its focus on dividend paying companies. While the underweight has been a challenge over the past several years, market breadth has improved this year across sectors and industries, helping support overall returns relative to the S&P 500. Notably, Financials (+2.68%) and Industrials (+2.22%) were strong contributors to the Fund, while Information Technology (-2.75%) and Energy (-5.84%) detracted from returns.1 Positions that contributed most significantly were Goldman Sachs (GS), RTX Corp. (RTX), and Visa (V). Biggest detractors were Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC) and International Business Machine Corp (IBM).
During December, Apple (AAPL) was added to, as well as TJX Companies (TJX), the latter of which was reweighing the position after being partially called away earlier in the month.
The fund ended the month with just 3 calls sold, covering 1.97% of the portfolio.2

Index Definitions: All indexes are unmanaged and it’s not possible to invest directly in an index. S&P 500 Total Return Index—market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies by market value, and assumes distributions are reinvested back into the index. It does not include fees or expenses. CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM)—tracks the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index. A “buy-write” strategy is generally one in which an investor buys a stock (or basket of stocks) and also writes covered calls that correspond to those holdings. CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is a measure of implied volatility, based on the prices of a basket of S&P 500 Index options with 30 days to expiration. DIVO differs substantially from the S&P 500 Index and CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite index, which are used for comparison purposes as widely recognized measures of U.S. stock market performance. While the returns of DIVO have exhibited positive (but varying) correlation to the indexes over time, DIVO may invest in different stocks and in different proportions than in the S&P 500 index and CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite index.
