You've heard us rave about how cheap equities are at current market valuations.

As an investor, you love to see compounded returns on your investments. Now, bringing you the best of both worlds, we give you DWS Invest Top Dividend fund.

According to Thomas Schüssler, fund manager of DWS Invest Top Dividend, one important driver of total share market return is, dividends and growth in dividend-generating stocks account for the bulk of total share market returns globally.

High dividends are especially attractive in an uncertain environment, as they offer stability to one's portfolio. Companies with a global presence and a strong track record of dividend payouts present a great opportunity to increase a portfolio's yield. The fund's investment objective is to offer dividend yields higher than the market average. The fund's target net yield of 3.8% (as at 8 May 2012).

One feature of the fund's investment philosophy is that they favour sustainable growth. The investment team does not invest in companies that pay high dividends, as this can be risky because the company may be paying out all its earnings to keep dividend yield high. Instead, they focus on the dividend payout ratio, favouring companies with low payout ratios and reasonably high dividend yields to ensure sustainable growth. Coupled with a good operating backdrop, these companies may increase their dividends over time.
