Tom, thanks for your comments.

This seems like a good low risk way to generate additional income for a fund that might have low volatility. Both funds have had good returns for the short time they have been in existence.

The Black Rock fund evidently invests in stocks that are from the Mergent's Dividend Achievers universe. For those who don't know, the Dividend Achievers are those companies that have increased their dividends each year for at least 10 consecutive years.

This seems to be a low risk fund. I was just wondering about the volatility of this strategy whenever the markets are in turmoil. As mentioned in other recent posts this market has had very little volatility over the past few years.

Best regards,

Ray
