For Nearly a Century
The stock market can be volatile and unpredictable. Yet for nearly a century, Adams Funds has sought to offer investors a sense of relative stability that has stood the test of time in all market conditions. From our closed-end fund structure that makes it easier for our managers to invest for the long-term, to paying dividends reliably for over 90 years, Adams Funds has been a constant for generations of investors. In 2024, we renewed this commitment to consistency as our two funds — Adams Diversified Equity Fund and Adams Natural Resources Fund — raised their annual payouts to 8% of NAV.
Adams has built its long-term track record on three pillars that we believe give our funds an edge.
Navigating Markets with a Long-Term Perspective
Since 1929, our funds have weathered every market. Backed by the stability of a closed-end fund structure, we focus on creating long-term wealth for you—and future generations of Adams Funds investors.
Adams is committed to paying 8% of each fund's net asset value (NAV) annually, with at least 2% distributed quarterly — providing steady income for investors.
Adams Diversified Equity Fund and Adams Natural Resources Fund charge lower fees on average than their actively managed peers.
