SMDV: Fundamentally Unattractive DGI Strategy Despite Performance Surprise
SMDV oversees a portfolio of 100 SMID stocks that have at least 10 years of dividend growth in the books. The methodology has nuances, though. Regional bank stocks boosted SMDV's returns in July, allowing it to outperform the S&P 500 index marginally since the previous analysis. However, fundamentally, nothing has changed about this vehicle. Its quality characteristics remain pronouncedly weak, while growth is soft.

SMDV: Why You Should Pass On This 3% Yielding Small-Cap DGI ETF
SMDV might attract DGI investors for its 2.91% expected yield and double-digit dividend growth rate. However, the way it accomplishes that is not optimal. The selection process begins by identifying small-cap stocks with at least ten consecutive years of dividend growth. It sounds good, but 40% of eligible stocks are Regional Banks. SMDV's selections in this sub-industry, which total 25%, have delivered negative total returns over the last five years and have negative estimated earnings growth.
