DES: Not Catching A Dividend Bid In 2025, Awful Momentum Despite The Valuation
High dividend yield is a top equity factor in 2025, with VYM outperforming the S&P 500, while small-cap size factor lags significantly. DES ETF, tracking small-cap dividend-paying companies, shows weak momentum and macro/cyclical risks, performing more like IWM than VYM. DES has a low valuation at 12.4x earnings but faces elevated recession risk due to its sector exposure and poor technical chart.

Why Is The IPO Market Struggling? Here's What Active Managers Have To Say
Strong returns in U.S. stocks, particularly over the past two plus years, have led investors to question the relative lack of companies going public via the IPO process — as well as the potential implications for the IPO market in the long term. According to active equity managers, a combination of increased public market regulation, a reduced pipeline of potential offerings following the prior boom, the rising role of large private asset managers in capital raising, and near-term uncertainty surrounding government policy are all contributing factors. At Russell Investments, we think investors benefit from taking a long-term view.

DES: A Dividend ETF Struggling To Keep Up With The Overall Small-Cap Segment
WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Fund focuses on dividend-paying small-cap stocks, offering a 2.8% yield but underperforming peers and the Russell 2000 index. DES's sector allocation is overweight in financial services, utilities, and real estate, but underweight in technology and healthcare, impacting growth potential. DES has attractive valuations and higher profitability, but its modest growth limits its appeal compared to other small-cap ETFs.
