Our read on FYLD

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost international income funds stop at dividends. FYLD screens developed-market companies returning cash three ways: dividends, share buybacks and debt paydown, then leans toward the cheap ones.

Stated mandate

The fund targets international companies that return cash to investors through dividends, share buybacks, and debt reduction, collectively described as shareholder yield.

Why people hold it

  • Shareholder yield counts dividends, buybacks and debt paydown, so a company quietly retiring stock or borrowings can qualify without a headline dividend.sec.gov
  • Actively managed rather than index-tracking, pairing the yield ranking with value and quality screens instead of a fixed rulebook.sec.gov
  • Running since 2013, the developed-markets sibling of Cambria's original shareholder-yield ETF: roughly 100 names, several hundred million in assets, quarterly payouts.cambriafunds.com

Worth knowing

  • At 0.59% a year it costs more than the typical international factor fund; index-built peers like QLVD (0.15%) and EFAV (0.20%) charge far less.
  • The value-and-yield screen builds a portfolio that can look nothing like a standard developed-markets index in sector, size and country mix.cambriafunds.com
  • Volume is moderate rather than mega-fund heavy, so spreads can widen at the edges of the trading day.
