Tuesday, June 4, 12:14 PM Popular dividend ETFs - HDV, VYM, VIG, SDY, DVY among them - have fared worse than the SPY as interest rates have risen of late. Credit Suisse narrows the risk down further, identifying 20 stocks with the biggest share of their float held by dividend ETFs. This basket includes Cincinnati Financial (CINF) and Pitney Bowes (PBI) and it's off 3.4% since Ben Bernanke's May testimony, twice as much as the broad market. We'll post the other 18 as they come available. 10 Comments
Wednesday, May 29, 10:10 AM Vanguard's popular Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) gets even cheaper, the annual fee dropping to 0.10% from 0.13%. It's the 56th Vanguard ETF to drop fees this year vs. a total of 65 run by the company. Competitors include: DVY, SDY, VYM, HDV, DLN. Comment!
Friday, May 24, 12:45 PM Multi-asset income ETFs are here to stay, writes Paul Britt, as Guggenheim's CVY crosses $1B in AUM. It's been around since 2006, but a new entrant, MDIV has pulled in $440M in less than a year. These income funds have no mandate in their search for yield and roam across dividends (DVY), high-yield (HYG), REITs (IYR, VNQ), and MLPs (AMJ) as necessary. One drawback is their somewhat high expense ratios - in the 60-80 bp range, compared, for example, to DVY at 40 bps. Other M-A ETFs: INKM, IYLD, GYLD, HGI. 2 Comments
Tuesday, May 21, 3:55 PM WisdomTree (WETF) plans a Wednesday launch for its U.S. Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) - tracking a fundamentally-weighted index of about 300 dividend payers with annual cost of 0.28%. Among the eligibility requirements: Regular dividends for 12 consecutive months and market cap of at least $2B. Individual security weighting is capped at 5%, with sector allocation capped at 20%. Among the large selection of other dividend funds: VIG, PFM, DHS, DTN. More here. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, May 21, 5:40 AM Goldman Sachs lifts its forecasts for the S&P 500 (SPY), as David Kostin and company now say they expect the index to gain 5% by year-end to 1,750, 9% to 1,900 in 2014, and 10% to 2,100 in 2015. The rationale: expectations of above-trend real GDP growth beginning next year (Mr. Evans' "escape velocity" ?) coupled with P/E multiple expansion to 16x. Furthermore, dividends should rise ~30% over the next two years, bolstering the firm's claim that dividend-paying equities (DVY) are one of the only places U.S. investors can look to for income-generation. Some of GS's dividend picks, as listed on MarketWatch: Mattel (MAT), Ford (F), Philip Morris (PM), Walgreen (WAG), Chevron (CVX), U.S. Bancorp (USB), GE, Western Union (WU), Dow Chemical (DOW), and AT&T (T). 11 Comments
Tuesday, May 14, 12:54 PM The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (SYLD) launches - an actively managed fund led by The Ivy Portfolio author Mebane Faber. Income's nice, but don't focus too much on dividends, says Faber, who also adds in share buybacks and debt repayment to create "shareholder yield." Competing dividend ETFs include: VIG, DVY, SDY, VIG, HDV, and DLN. 1 Comment
Monday, April 29, 12:13 PM "Which has a higher P/E - Procter & Gamble (PG) or Google (GOOG)," asks the WSJ's Tom Lauricella. Enthusiasm for anything with yield has driven the P-E ratios of dividend payers (DVY) like P&G maybe way too high. Techs (XLK) with double-digit earnings growth, no debt, and massive cash balances trade at 12x, says MFS' James Swanson, while a utility (XLU) in Ohio is at 16x. "How far do you go with this game?" "Pretty far," says Templeton's Donald Taylor. "The macro environment (causing this) is not at all likely to change anytime soon." 7 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, April 17, 1:54 PM "The reach-for-yield forces have strengthened," writes Barclays' Barry Knapp, recommending investors stick with "bond-like" stocks. Stocks geared to global growth have been underperforming since February, he says, and now domestic cyclicals are starting to show pockets of weakness. DVY's total return is about 130 bps greater than the S&P 500 YTD. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
Monday, April 1, 12:23 PM The S&P 500 (SPY) paid out $7.954/share in dividends in Q1, a 12.2% increase from a year ago, wrties Eddy Elfenbein, the 9th consecutive quarter of double-digit gains. As opposed to the last 2 bull markets, stocks and dividends have moved pretty much together, keeping the index's dividend yield right around 2%. 1 Comment
Monday, March 25, 9:48 AM iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY) announces quarterly distribution of $0.5621. 12-month yield of 3.47% (as of 02/28/2013). For shareholders of record Mar. 27. Payable Apr. 01. Ex-div date Mar. 25. Comment! [Dividends]
Monday, March 18, 4:57 AM Ron Rowland offers additional highlights on the recently expanded lineup of commission-free ETFs over at Fidelity including the following caveat: Funds not held for 30 days by retail investors or 60 days by RIAs using Fidelity as a custodian will be subject to a $7.95 per-trade commission. Some RIAs have complained that the longer holding period directed at them is unfair. Rowland spells out the full list of affected ETFs here. Comment!
Friday, March 8, 1:00 PM S&P 500 companies are expected to pay out at least $300B in dividends this year, surpassing 2012's record of $282B. The number could go quite a bit higher depending on what Apple intends to do, and what the largest banks may be allowed to do (though Citi elected not to boost their dividend). DVY +8.1% YTD, not including the 3.4% yield. Comment!
Tuesday, February 19, 9:49 PM All of the slide presentations from IU"s InsideETFs conference are now available. One of interest shows how eligibility requirements on certain dividend indexes will keep out stalwarts like MSFT, IBM, ORCL, INTC, CSCO, and AAPL for years to come even as the same stocks account for significant holdings of other indexes with the name dividend on them. 1 Comment
Tuesday, February 19, 10:29 AM Of the $37.5B of flows into ETFs this year, 92% has gone into stock funds, according to ConvergEx, well above the typical ratio of 65-70%. U.S. stocks garnered the biggest share at 42%, while Japanese ETFs (see WETF) saw 8%. Dividend ETFs (DVY) have received nearly $4B already this year vs. $9B for all of 2012. Previous: "Fear fatigue." Comment!
Monday, February 11, 10:39 AM Stocks outdo bonds as the 1.6K companies in the MSCI World Index yield 2.7% vs. 2.6% on the BAML Global Corporate Index, according to Bloomberg. Yielding just 6.1% the gap of junk bonds over equities is at its lowest since 1995. "Increasingly, dynamic capital allocators are being forced to consider equities," says one bullish strategist. 1 Comment
Monday, January 7, 11:33 AM More on dividend increases: In 2012, 2,883 firms increased their dividends, against 275 lowering their dividends. Forward yield hit an all-time high and actual cash payments increased 18% in 2012. The yield increased throughout 2012 ending flat at 2.80%. The report expects 2013 to be setting another record for regular cash dividends. Comment!
