FDV: Never Forget Low Beta Is A Double-Edged Sword
FDV has an active strategy at the intersection of the dividend, quality, and low volatility factors. It is benchmarked against the S&P 500. Large exposure to utilities and low beta have somewhat protected it from deep losses this year. Nevertheless, its longer-term performance is underwhelming, as it meaningfully underperformed IVV. Its current factor mix is heavy in quality and value, but SCHD is better in multiple aspects.

FDV: An Active Approach To Dividend Growers
The Federated Hermes U.S. Strategic Dividend ETF aims to generate income and long-term capital value by investing in high-dividend U.S. stocks with the potential for payout growth. The fund's sector allocation favors defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples, offering stability and income protection against market downturns. Active management allows FDV to outperform passive dividend ETFs, focusing on both current income and future income growth, despite a higher expense ratio.

FDV: Avoid This 3.63% Yielding Active Dividend Growth ETF
FDV is an actively-managed dividend fund, emphasizing low-volatile stocks with strong dividend growth potential. Its AUM is $104 million and its expense ratio is 0.50% after waivers. Its 3.63% expected yield is somewhat attractive, but at least 16 others pay more, with most delivering much better total returns. FDV has barely broken even since November 2022. FDV's managers operate with high conviction but to the detriment of shareholders. Like before, they continue to ignore quality, growth, and sentiment indicators.
