Schafer Cullen Capital Management Enhanced Equity Income Fund’s Q4 2025 Investor Letter

Cullen Capital Management, LLC, operating under the name Schafer Cullen Capital Management, Inc. (SCCM), has released its “SCCM Enhanced Equity Income Fund” fourth-quarter investor letter. In the fourth quarter, the US equity market continued to rally, largely fueled by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. The Enhanced Equity Income Strategy returned 2.0% (net) for the fourth quarter and 7.5% (net) for the year, compared to 6.5% and 8.9% from its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Buy/Write Index, and 1.4% and 8.7% for its secondary benchmark, the SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK), respectively.  The Strategy’s total return was significantly affected by investors’ disregard for high-dividend and low-volatility factors, as well as an equity market that failed to expand across sectors. The Strategy anticipates a positive economic outlook for 2026, driven by the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cuts, tax reductions, capital-expenditure bonus depreciation (OBBBA), and potential lower tariffs, all contributing to growth. In addition, please check the Strategy’s top five holdings to know its best picks in 2025.
