Cullen Capital Management, the US based value and income specialist, is entering the UK and European markets by making two of its flagship value equity strategies available to investors as Dublin-domiciled Ucits.

The Cullen North American High Dividend Value Equity Fund and Cullen Global High Dividend Value Equity Fund incorporate a value-based investment philosophy.

The funds are due to launch on 1 October 2010 and will be available in euro, sterling and dollar denominations to institutional, high net worth and retail investors.

Jim Cullen, president, portfolio manager and founder of Cullen Capital Management, says: “The search for income continues across the globe, and we believe our proven high dividend, value-based strategy offers a compelling opportunity for UK and European investors. We are not simply income chasers. Our research has shown us that a strict value process, combined with the additional discipline brought as a result of the need for income, provides consistent outperformance over decades. Our message to investors is clear – stay disciplined and invest for the long-term. Don’t just react to today’s headline news.”
