Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

CDPIBColumbia High Dividend Premium Income ETF

VUSBVirtus U.S. Dividend ETF

In short

CDPI No data

VUS An AI-assisted dividend fund at a passive-fund price. A quant model reads sentiment and valuation, humans make the final call, and it charges 0.25%, less than half the typical active US dividend ETF.

Stated mandate

CDPI No data

VUS The Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

CDPI No data

  • VUS 0.25% a year, under half the 0.55% median for active US dividend ETFs and cheaper than every top-graded name in the cohort (CGDV, HIDV, MBOX, BGIG, TDVG).
  • The engine: a proprietary alpha model using AI-powered language processing for sentiment plus valuation factors. Virtus portfolio managers make the final trading calls.sec.gov
  • About 90 US-listed dividend payers, with at least 80% of net assets in them. Focused enough for picks to register, wide enough to spread single-name risk.sec.gov

Worth knowing

CDPI No data

  • VUS Launched December 2025 with a small asset base and light volume, so spreads can run wider than the cohort's household names and live history on the model is short.
  • The prospectus lets the fund put more than 15% of assets in a single sector, so the portfolio can lean hard into a few corners of the market.sec.gov
  • Income arrives annually or semiannually rather than monthly, so the cash shows up in lumps.
