DIVO Commentary January 2026
Equities began 2026 with a constructive but more complex advance, as markets absorbed a heavier mix of policy news, earnings, and geopolitical developments. The S&P 500 finished January higher despite intermittent volatility around the January Federal Open Market Committee meeting, where the Federal Reserve held rates steady and reiterated a data dependent posture, prompting investors to reassess the timing of future easing. Early earnings results and generally stable earnings guidance supported equity market sentiment as the month progressed, contributing to a notable broadening of leadership toward value equities, small caps, and cyclical stocks. Geopolitical developments, including U.S. actions in Venezuela and renewed trade and foreign policy rhetoric, introduced short lived market distractions but did not derail equity momentum. A weaker U.S. dollar and elevated geopolitical uncertainty supported strong early‑month gains in gold and silver, though both metals experienced sharp volatility into month‑end as risk sentiment fluctuated.

OVERALL MORNINGSTAR™ RATING |
During January, DIVO returned 2.85% (NAV) while the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 1.45%, and the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) returned 1.11%. The Fund led the S&P to start the year, delivering strong performance. The Fund continues to be structurally underweight in the Information Technology sector relative to the S&P 500 given its focus on dividend paying companies. While historically it has been a challenge, recently, market breadth has widened, helping support overall returns relative to the S&P 500. Notably, Industrials (+12.53%) and Energy (+12.74%) were strong contributors to the Fund, while Information Technology (-4.10%) and Financials (-1.39%) detracted from returns.1 Positions that contributed the most significantly were Caterpillar Inc (CAT), RTX Corp. (RTX), and Chevron Corp (CVX). Biggest detractors were Microsoft (MSFT) and Visa Inc. (V).
During January, positions were initiated in Medtronic PLC (MDT) and FedEx (FDX). Positions increased in FedEx (FDX), Medtronic PLC (MDT), and Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MDT). Position in Meta Platforms (META) was trimmed, and Procter & Gamble (PG) was exited. During the month calls were written against Merck & Co Inc. (MRK), RTX Corp. (RTX), Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (AEM), and Caterpillar (CAT) at partial coverage, while Microsoft (MSFT) had full coverage.

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.
