Global X SuperDividend US ETF

DIV tracks an equally weighted index of 50 high-dividend, low-volatility securities.

Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF is a sell due to declining share price, high payout ratios, and negative dividend growth rate. DIV's redeeming qualities are a relatively attractive valuation and low volatility. However, these are not sufficient to warrant a buy rating. By comparison, DIVO, a peer dividend-yielding ETF, has relatively brighter qualities including capital appreciation along with sustainable payout ratios for its top holdings.

High-yield stocks in sectors like REITs and utilities have been crushed by rising interest rates. Despite the pullback, there are attractive opportunities in these sectors with well-covered yields and defensive business models. Two blue-chip high-yield REITs and two infrastructure stocks are highlighted as attractive buys on the dip.

Very Bad News For Dividend Stocks

High-dividend US stocks have fallen out of favor, with the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF down 24% relative to the S&P 500 YoY. DIV's poor absolute and relative performance, risky portfolio allocation, and low earnings quality make it unattractive, though its low P/E suggests pessimism is priced in. Seasonal trends and technical indicators suggest that now is not an ideal time to invest in DIV.

Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF offers a substantial dividend yield of 7.5% and a value tilt. The problem here is that its interpretation of value/low-volatility factors delivered sluggish returns and, surprisingly, a high standard deviation, along with steep maximum drawdowns. Quality exposure also leaves a lot to be desired.

Business development companies (BDCs) and covered call and preferred income strategies offer dividend yields well above those of the S&P 500 and are especially popular among yield-hungry retail investors. All these strategies have underperformed the S&P 500 on a total return basis over the long term. Thus, dividend investors are trading capital for income. DIY high-dividend strategies can generate enviable income without sacrificing capital. The Global X SuperDividend US exchange-traded fund (DIV) is our proxy for a high-dividend US stock portfolio.

Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF has underperformed overall indices since its inception, with a total return of less than 3% in a decade. The fund's high dividend yield of 7.2% comes from stocks that may be "yield traps" with unsustainable dividends.

The conundrum for dividend investors is whether to invest in high-yield stocks or low-yielding stocks with fast dividend growth. Higher yields benefit accumulators by reinvesting dividends into more shares, but dividend growth typically generates higher total returns. For withdrawers, high yield has some obvious benefits but also some potential pitfalls, while some argue dividend growth is the best way to go even for retirees.
