HIDVAAB US High Dividend ETF

ROPEDCoastal Compass 100 ETF

In short

HIDV HIDV hunts dividends without wandering off the map: an active, systematic screen on value, quality and momentum, wrapped around S&P 500-like market participation. Income tilt, core-equity shape.

ROPE No data

Stated mandate

HIDV HIDV is an active U.S. equity ETF seeking core U.S. equity exposure, attractive dividend income, and capital appreciation. Its systematic process is designed to identify dividend opportunities while maintaining diversified, market-like participation.

ROPE No data

Why people hold it

  • HIDV Charges 0.35%, well under the 0.55% median for active US dividend funds, and undercuts active peers like TDVG (0.50%) and BGIG (0.45%).
  • Stock picking is systematic, not vibes: AB advertises value, quality and momentum as the levers. You can see what drives the portfolio.alliancebernstein.com
  • Roughly 110 US names measured against the S&P 500, so the income tilt sits inside diversified core exposure rather than a narrow yield corner. Pays quarterly.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger builds among the three dozen-odd active dividend-income ETFs we track.

ROPE No data

Worth knowing

  • HIDV A smaller, thinly traded fund. Spreads can be wider than the category giants, so limit orders matter more here.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short relative to older dividend franchises.
  • Fully invested US stock fund with no downside cushion. A dividend tilt is not a shock absorber when the market drops.
