At the same time, the steady income stream offered by dividends provides investors with additional security and financial well-being. Against this backdrop, and after the successful launch of the Nissay-S series last month with the Nissay S US Equity 500 Index Fund, Nissay Asset Management has now launched the second fund of the series. The new Nissay S US Consecutive Increased Dividend Equity Index Fund tracks the Solactive United States Dividend Elite Index, which selects stable and growing dividend-paying stocks from the US market, including companies that have consistently increased dividends over the last 25 years.
