SDVD: Just Offsetting Return Shortfall By 8% Yield

FT Vest SMID Rising Dividend Achievers Tgt In ETF employs a buy-write strategy on a dividend growth portfolio, generating an 8.25% distribution yield. The fund is well-diversified but overweight in industrials and financials, with risk and return metrics similar to its non-optioned counterpart SDVY. High fees, tax inefficiency compared to SDVY, and historical patterns in similar ETFs like RYLD support a Sell rating.
