DDIV: Substantial Losses Possible For This High Fee Momentum Plus Dividend ETF
DDIV tracks a concentrated large/mid-cap Index with a momentum focus and a dividend overlay. Its yield is 2.07%, its ER is 0.60%, and the ETF has $79 million in assets. Unique for a value fund is DDIV's 1.25 five-year beta. A historical six-year backtest also indicates substantial losses are possible, contrary to the approach taken by many dividend investors. While DDIV's risk-adjusted returns are not strong, it has outperformed its benchmark since its Index change on September 8, 2016. It might be attractive to value investors seeking quick gains.
