The Swan Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy focuses on total return, seeking both sustainable income and capital appreciation, via actively managed covered call-writing on a quality dividend growth stock portfolio.
Actively Seeking More – Our distinct “active-active” approach seeks to enhance total return and improve growth of capital potential, while distributing attractive levels of regular income.
Our ‘Active-Active’ Approach Creates a Dual-Alpha Income Solution
The strategy seeks income and total return through the contribution of three drivers of return:
Providing investors an alternative to passively-managed equity income strategies, which may be unable to adapt to market conditions, unduly cap upside potential, and/or erode an investor’s capital base over time.
Typical, Passive Covered Call
Passively write calls on an index, at regular intervals and a fixed size/strike
Adjust at expiry
Creates a hard upside cap

Defining Separately Managed Accounts
A Separately Managed Account (SMA) is a portfolio of assets under the management of a professional investment firm. The SMA structure is for qualified investors through financial advisory firm relationships and require a minimum investment. The vast majority of such investments firms are called registered investment advisors, which are regulated by of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. One or more portfolio managers are responsible for day-to-day investment decisions, supported by a team of analysts, operations and administrative staff. SMAs differ from pooled products, like mutual funds or ETFs, in that each portfolio is unique to a single account, in which the manager has discretion to make investment decisions for each account.
