Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AMEIDAmana Equity Income ETF

DIVSBGuinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF

In short

AMEI No data

DIVS One of the first mutual funds ever converted into an ETF (March 2021), DIVS runs a 2012-vintage global dividend strategy: about 35 roughly equal-weight names that cleared ten straight years of 10%-plus real cash returns on capital.

Stated mandate

AMEI No data

DIVS The ETF seeks moderate current income and dividend growth that exceeds inflation. It is actively managed and invests mainly in dividend-paying companies with the potential for consistent dividend increases.

Why people hold it

AMEI No data

  • DIVS 0.45% net of a waiver through June 30, 2029, against a 0.98% gross fee. That sits under category standouts CGDG (0.47%), DIVD (0.49%) and CVGD (0.50%).
  • The quality bar is written into the prospectus: a real cash flow return on investment of at least 10% in each of the last 10 years, not merely a long payout history.sec.gov
  • Roughly 35 global positions at approximately equal weight, so no single name owns the income stream. Distributions go out quarterly.sec.gov

Worth knowing

AMEI No data

  • DIVS Thinly traded with a small asset base, so the spread can cost more than the fee. Limit orders are the usual workaround.
  • That 0.45% is a waived rate; the gross fee is 0.98%. The waiver runs through June 30, 2029, and the cost resets higher if it is not renewed.
  • Active and concentrated at roughly three dozen names, with foreign-listed holdings, so currency moves and single-stock calls both show up in results.sec.gov
