Our read on QDIV
In short
BMost dividend funds chase yield and hope quality follows. QDIV demands both: a stock must rank in the S&P 500's top 200 on dividend yield and top 200 on quality to get in. Roughly 50 names, equal weighted, paid monthly.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Quality High Dividend Index.
