Our read on CSB
In short
BMost dividend ETFs crowd into mega-cap payers. CSB goes the other way: the 100 highest yielders drawn from profitable US small caps, weighted by volatility instead of size, so the jumpiest names get the smallest slice.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index.
