AAM S&P 500 High Dividend Value ETF (NYSE:SPDV)

SPDV Description

The AAM S&P 500 High Dividend Value ETF (NYSE:SPDV) is designed to provide current cash flow and adequate capital growth by targeting attractively valued U.S. large capitalization stocks that exhibit both a high dividend yield and sustainable dividend distribution characteristics. At the core of SPDV’s low cost, tax-efficient, transparent approach are two key valuation indicators that aim to identify sustainable dividend-paying stocks offering fundamental value.

  • Dividend yield – A high dividend yield may indicate an attractive market price and signal a company’s willingness to return capital to its shareholders, which may help meet the cash flow needs of investors.

  • Free cash flow yield – A high free cash flow means a healthy operating condition and strong balance sheet which may help SPDV avoid value traps among high dividend stocks.

The SPDV Advantage

  1. Cash Flow: SPDV targets 55 dividend-paying stocks in the S&P 500 Index, potentially increasing a portfolio’s income and helping investors meet their cash flow needs.

  2. Capital Growth: Dividends have played a significant role in equity returns. In fact, approximately 83.5% of the S&P 500 Index total return can be attributed to the reinvested dividend and the power of compounding.*

  3. Sector and Stock Diversification: SPDV’s distinct index methodology targets five stocks from each Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector potentially providing investors a full range of sustainable dividend opportunities.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may be only be acquired or redeemed from the fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Companies with high yield or payout ratio may underperform other securities in certain market conditions and reduce or discontinue paying dividends entirely while included in the index. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets investments. Investments in mid-cap companies may involve less liquidity and greater volatility than larger companies. The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the underlying Index. To the extent the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, it may experience tracking error to a greater extent than if the Fund had sought to replicate the Index.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Holdings and allocations are subject to change at any time. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Alpha measures the excess return of an investment relative to a benchmark index.
