Managed DSIP
SMA overview
Pure dividends: dynamic, durable, decisive

Key differentiators

  • Seeks a yield greater than that of the S&P 500, with attractive total return through price appreciation plus dividends
  • Seeks to provide downside protection with lower beta compared with the S&P 500
  • Offers exposure to a diversified but high conviction portfolio of 40 to 60 stocks with lower turnover while utilizing a tax-aware approach

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. For more information, please refer to the GIPS composite report found in the documents section.

Model performance results are hypothetical and not indicative of actual or future performance. The results reflect performance of a model strategy not currently offered to investors and do not represent returns that any investor actually attained. Model performance results have inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or likely will achieve results similar to those shown. In fact, actual results may differ materially.

Model performance results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight and do not reflect the financial risk associated with actual trading. For example, the ability to tolerate losses or to adhere to an investment strategy despite losses are material considerations that cannot be replicated in a model. There are other factors related to the markets in general and to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in model performance results—all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Model returns do not reflect transaction costs, unreclaimable withholding taxes, or the impact of cash flows and may not include cash balances. Results are expressed in U.S. dollars and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. As with any investment vehicle, there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses.

If your firm (sponsor) uses this model, actual performance can be obtained from your firm and will differ from the model performance shown. Additionally, this performance information is historical and does not guarantee future results for any SMA or model. Holdings in individual accounts may vary due to trading constraints and tax implications.

Allspring Managed Account Services (the firm) is a unit within Allspring Global Investments and is responsible for the management and administration of the Allspring Funds Management, LLC, retail separately managed account portfolios (wrap portfolios). Allspring Funds Management acts as a discretionary manager for separately managed accounts ("SMA") and as a non-discretionary model provider in a variety of managed account or wrap fee programs (“MA Programs”) sponsored by third party investment advisers, broker-dealers, or other financial services firms (a “Sponsor”). When acting as non-discretionary model provider, Allspring Funds Management responsibility is limited to providing non-discretionary investment recommendations (in the form of model portfolios) to the Sponsor. The Sponsor may use these recommendations in connection with its management of MA Program accounts. In these “model-based” programs, the Sponsor serves as the investment manager and maintains trade implementation responsibility.
