The Stable Preservation Equity Fund (SPEF) is an imaginary, actively managed concentrated equity fund designed for investors seeking capital preservation as the primary goal, with secondary emphasis on generating income and modest growth to outpace inflation over the long term.

Significantly less volatile than the S&P 500. Strong downside protection in recessions.
Mid-single-digit dividend yields + modest capital appreciation.
Target long-term total return: 6–9% annualized.
