Our read on CSB
CMost 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.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index.
Why people hold it
- Weights each holding by the inverse of its volatility rather than market cap, and caps any single sector at 25%, which keeps one hot corner from running the portfolio.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
- The starting pool has a profitability gate: the 500 largest US companies under $3B in market cap with positive earnings in each of the four most recent quarters.advisor.vcm.com
- Live since 2015, holding roughly 100 stocks and paying monthly, with tracking that has stayed close to the index it advertises.
- A small-cap high-dividend sleeve is a rarity in a peer group built mostly on large-cap payers, so it covers ground the household dividend names largely skip.
Worth knowing
- The 0.40% fee sits near the middle of its cohort, but the giants of dividend investing (SCHD, VIG, DGRO) charge a fraction of that for large-cap exposure.
- Small caps swing harder than the blue-chip payers most dividend funds hold. Volatility weighting shapes that risk, it does not remove it.
- It trades lightly next to the cohort's household names, and the index reconstitutes only twice a year (March and September), so the yield roster is set in between.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
