INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Portfolios announced the 2020 performance results of its two mutual funds—Preferred-Plus and Dividend Performers—and their Morningstar category rankings.

The Innovative Portfolios Preferred-Plus Fund (Class I: IPPPX) returned 9.05%, ranking 1^st out of 48 funds in Morningstar's category of U.S. Fund Preferred Stock, based on total return for the one-year period ending 12/31/2020. As of 12/31/20, annualized performance since inception (12/24/18) in the Preferred-Plus Fund is 14.24%.

Based on total return for the same year, Innovative Portfolios Dividend Performers Fund returned 20.22% (Class I: IPDPX) and ranked 6^th out of 138 funds in Morningstar's category of U.S. Fund Options-based. Since inception on 12/24/18, annualized performance in the Dividend Performers Fund is 27.35% for the period ending 12/31/20.

The Preferred-Plus Fund's primary investment objective is to provide current income by investing in U.S. Preferred Stocks. The Fund utilizes an option overlay strategy seeking to enhance overall distributions to shareholders.

The primary objective of the Dividend Performers Fund is to provide current income. Secondarily, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment in large-cap common stocks of dividend-paying U.S. companies. Additionally, the Fund has an option overlay strategy that strives to enhance distributions to shareholders.

"Given the sometimes tumultuous stock market over the last few years, we are especially pleased with performance of our Funds in their Morningstar categories," says Dave Gilreath, Innovative Portfolios Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer. "Since inception, Preferred Plus has been a David vs. Goliath story, outperforming the preferred stock category giants. Dividend Performers, using a subset of the Dividend Achievers Index constituents, even outperformed the S&P 500 since 12/24/2018, despite owning none of the large technology stocks that drove the Index to new highs."

As the Investment Advisor to the funds, Innovative Portfolios employs option-based overlay portfolio strategies with diversified underlying portfolios in an effort to increase income. Both funds are available to investors as part of the Collaborative Investment Series Trust. Innovative Portfolios is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
