Our read on COWS
CCash cows that also give raises. COWS tracks a Kelly index screening US companies for high free cash flow yield plus at least three straight years of uninterrupted dividend growth, then pays the income out monthly.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and monthly income by generally tracking the Kelly US Cash Flow Dividend Leaders Index.
Why people hold it
- Two screens, not one: high free cash flow yield AND three years of uninterrupted dividend growth. A cheap-looking cash generator still has to show it keeps raising the payout.amplifyetfs.com
- Pays monthly, not quarterly. The fund estimates the year's income and sends it in installments, so the cash lands on a paycheck rhythm.amplifyetfs.com
- Rules-based and compact: roughly 40 names drawn straight from the index, with an objective methodology doing the picking rather than a manager's hunch.amplifyetfs.com
Worth knowing
- 0.39% a year. That is real money next to the broad value index funds sitting at the top of this peer group, like VYM and VONV. You are paying for the screen.
- A small fund that trades lightly. Spreads can run wider than in giant index ETFs, and the gap between price and net asset value can move around.
- Amplify discloses that part of a monthly distribution can be return of capital, meaning some of it is your own money coming back and it trims your cost basis.amplifyetfs.com
