TrueShares Low Volatility Equity Income ETF

DIVZ holds an actively-managed, concentrated portfolio of US-listed companies that are favorably valued and have attractive dividends. The fund also seeks to deliver lower volatility than the overall market.

DIVZ is an actively managed fund designed to deliver an above-average dividend yield with less volatility than broad market funds. I estimate its forward yield at 2.87%, which pays monthly. Since my review one year ago, DIVZ's fundamentals relative to other dividend funds have improved. It's now much more balanced on growth, value, and volatility, though quality remains an issue. Adding three semiconductor stocks boosts DIVZ's growth potential, and although it has a negative impact on dividend yield, I believe it's in the best interests of shareholders.

Investors see warnings every day and under all economic conditions that the stock market is overvalued. Last year, high-flying technology companies led a broad decline for stocks, and many of those same companies have led this year's rebound.

DIVZ is an actively-managed low-volatility ETF that has a 3.13% expected dividend yield. It was shortlisted for Active Equity ETF of the Year based on performance and fund flows in 2022. High Energy exposure was a big reason. However, exposure is down to around 15% due to the sector's underperformance YTD. DIVZ also made some key substitutions over the last quarter.
