2010E

less: expense ratio

Analyst's view: Although it appears profitability (both margins & ROE) will remain depressed and therefore the earnings recovery will be slow, dividend-oriented investors will like the fund's highdividend yields. The high yields in this case do not appear to be a sign of distress, as cash flow and EPS estimates imply ample coverage. And, with their relatively low yields, U.S. stocks account for less than one-quarter of assets in LVL.
