QDF: Solid Quality Dividend ETF But Still Vulnerable In Drawdowns
QDF uses a proprietary screening process to select high-quality dividend paying stocks that, as a whole, match a specific set of portfolio constraints. I estimate its dividend yield at 1.95%. Compared to similar dividend-themed ETFs like DGRW, VIG, DGRO, and CGDV, QDF's sector diversification is poor, and nearly 30% of the portfolio is allocated to tech stocks. However, the benefit is a fund that ranks well on quality, growth, and value. Even with the high tech sector exposure, QDF trades at an attractive 18.39x forward earnings.
