Global Beta Smart Income ETF: The Top-Performer You’ve Never Heard About
The Global Beta Smart Income ETF (GBDV) has been the best-performing dividend ETF over the last year, scoring very well on valuation and sector diversification. Yet it is not well known. This independent review (by the Sunday Investor) on Seeking Alpha assesses GBDV’s methodology and evaluates the fund’s prospects. (It’s a buy in the current market.)
GBDV chooses the S&P 900 stocks with the highest average yield over the previous four quarters, weighting by sector diversification first and then by revenue. Individual stock weighting is capped at 5%. The review analyzes how GBDV emphasizes fundamental indexing, preferring undervalued to overvalued stocks. At the same time, the fund’s policy of weighting by revenue allows it to benefit from positive market sentiment in the way that market-cap-based index funds do.
Over the past two years, GBDV has been the second-best performer out of the Sunday Investor’s 64 dividend ETFs. At the same time, its current highly diversified portfolio is relatively low risk. It is rated as a buy, and it is expected to be a particularly good performer in the current turbulent market.
