Bahl & Gaynor recently launched two new dividend-focused ETFs, the Bahl & Gaynor Dividend ETF (BGDV) and the Bahl & Gaynor Small Cap Dividend ETF (SCDV). Both funds aim to provide long-term dividend income and downside protection by investing in high-quality, dividend-paying equities.
BGDV focuses on large-cap stocks with a 0.45% expense ratio, while SCDV targets small caps with a 0.70% expense ratio. These funds use a bottom-up stock selection strategy, emphasizing factors like historical performance, competitive advantages, and future cash flow potential.
Sector exposure is not a primary focus but may tilt toward health care, financials, and industrials for SCDV and financials, industrials, and information technology for BGDV.
Finsum: The bond market could have a tumultuous Q1 and income investors might want to look elsewhere for returns.
