Our read on OUSA
CThree filters, one dividend fund: quality, low volatility and dividend growth, stacked on US large- and mid-caps, then paid out monthly. The boutique, premium-priced take in an aisle stocked with cheap giants.
OUSA seeks, before fees and expenses, to track the O'Shares U.S. Quality Dividend Index. It is designed to provide access to U.S. large- and mid-cap dividend-paying companies selected using quality, low-volatility and dividend-growth measures.
Why people hold it
- No yield chase. The index screens US large- and mid-caps on quality, low volatility and dividend growth, so the filters come before the payout.alpsfunds.com
- Distributions land monthly, and the portfolio stays tight at roughly 100 names rather than sprawling across the whole dividend market.
- Live since 2015, with real trading history through rate swings and drawdowns instead of a backtest. The holdings line up with the index it advertises.
Worth knowing
- At 0.48% a year it costs more than the typical dividend screener, and index heavyweights like SCHD, VIG and DGRO charge a fraction of that.
- Trading is thin next to the category's giants, which can mean wider spreads on the way in and on the way out.
- In a crowded field of dividend screeners it sits in the lower stretch overall, with cost the main drag on an otherwise on-mandate portfolio.
