5 Dependable Dividend ETFs to Invest In
The Federal Reserve did what investors were hoping for Wednesday -- that is, lowering interest rates. Perhaps it was a case of selling the news or market participants wanting an 0.5% rate cut instead of the 0.25% the Fed delivered, but stocks were drubbed in the final trading day of July.Source: Shutterstock In cutting rates by 25 basis points, the Fed left the door open for another rate reduction later this year. Right now, it appears likely that another rate cut will indeed happen. Couple that with the $13 trillion in negative yielding bonds around the world and the low-interest-rate environment seen the world over and you have a recipe for increasing the allure of a beloved asset class: dividend stocks.The amount was not massive, but a handful of dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit record highs on Wednesday and some data points indicate investors have recently been piling into dividend ETFs, perhaps in anticipation of ongoing declines in Treasury yields.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 8 of the Most Shorted Stocks in the Markets Right Now With the U.S. remaining one of the dominant forces in global dividend growth and with interest rates here declining, investors can mix and match both dividend growth and high dividend ETFs in the current market environment. Here are some of the dividend ETFs that are primed to deliver for investors over the rest of 2019 and beyond. Dividend ETFs: SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY)Expense Ratio: 0.35% per year, or $35 on a $10,000 investment.The SPDR S&P Dividend ETF(NYSEARCA:SDY) is one of the dividend ETFs that hit all-time highs on July 31 and one that has recently been luring investors. For the week ending July 30, SDY garnered $1.26 billion in new assets, a total exceeded by just two other ETFs over that period.The SPDR S&P Dividend ETF is an appropriate fund for this climate because it dances between high dividend and payout growth.SDY tracks the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. Obviously, that benchmark has "high yield" in its name, but this dividend ETF yields just 2.4%. More importantly, SDY's 112 components must have dividend increase streaks of 20 years to be included in the fund. While SDY is not necessarily a proper high-dividend ETF, it can provide some leverage to declining interest rates because rate-sensitive sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and real estate combine for nearly a third of the fund's weight.SDY is appropriate for a variety of investors, but it might be best deployed by conservative investors looking to reduce portfolio volatility. Over the past three years, SDY is trailing the S&P 500 by a healthy margin, but the dividend ETF has been significantly less volatile and its maximum drawdown over that span was well bellow that of the broader market. O'Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM)Source: Shutterstock Expense Ratio: 0.48%The O'Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:OUSM) is an ideal fund for risk-averse investors to tap small-cap stocks, an asset class that data suggest is increasingly fertile territory for dividend seekers.OUSM tracks the FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index, which "is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed small-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States exhibiting high quality, low volatility and high dividend yields," according to O'Shares. * 7 A-Rated Stocks Under $10 Interestingly, OUSM is home to nearly 220 stocks, or more than triple the roster of the Russell 2000 Dividend Growth Index. Another interesting factoid for investors to consider is this dividend ETF's return on assets (ROA), a key metric in evaluating payout growth potential. OUSM has an ROA of 8.2% compared to just 0.3% for the Russell 2000. So it's probably not surprising that the dividend ETF is outperforming the small-cap benchmark over the past year. Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (DIV)Expense Ratio: 0.45%The Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (NYSEARCA:DIV) makes good on the promise of being a "super dividend" play with a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 7.3%, but this dividend ETF is struggling this year with a gain of just 3%. One of the obvious drags on this dividend ETF is energy exposure, be it via master limited partnerships (MLPs) or traditional energy stocks. Those asset classes combine for almost 20% of DIV's weight, though MLPs, broadly speaking, have been solid this year.Despite the struggles, this is one dividend ETF that could be poised to bounce back as markets price in expectations of more dovish Fed action. DIV is loaded with rate-sensitive asset classes. That includes mortgage REITs, consumer staples and utilities stocks combining for over 43% of DIV's roster.In addition to having a lower beta and lower annualized volatility relative to the S&P 500, this dividend ETF has another perk, particularly for investors looking for regular income.It pays a monthly dividend. ProShares MSCI Europe Dividend Growers ETF (EUDV)Expense Ratio: 0.55%Remember that $13 trillion in negative-yielding bonds I mentioned earlier? A lot of it resides in Europe, meaning if an investor picks the wrong European bond, he or she will lose money. The ProShares MSCI Europe Dividend Growers ETF (CBOE:EUDV) is a dividend ETF that is a superior option to most European sovereign debt at the moment.Developed European economies, namely the U.K. and Switzerland, are among the better dividend growth alternatives to the U.S. This dividend ETF is a play on payout growth as its index requires a minimum dividend increase streak of a decade. In Europe, that's an exclusive club because EUDV has just 34 holdings and British and Swiss stocks combine for over the fund's geographic exposure. * The 10 Best Stocks to Invest in for August About 40% of EUDV's currency exposure is in euros, a trait that could benefit investors if the European Central Bank (ECB), as is widely expected, unleashes more monetary stimulus. In fact, a case can be made that the ECB has no choice but to unfurl easy monetary policy to lift some slow-moving economies in the Eurozone. WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (DEM)Expense Ratio: 0.63%The WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (NYSEARCA:DEM) fits the bill as a high-dividend ETF as highlighted by its distribution yield of 4.8%, or more than double the dividend yield on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Oh, and this dividend ETF is beating the emerging markets benchmark by nearly 200 basis points this year with lower volatility.As is to be expected, emerging-markets dividend ETFs look and act much different than U.S. equivalents. Due to the fact that this universe of dividend payers is more fractured than Europe or the U.S., it is reasonable to expect some emerging markets dividend ETFs have geographic concentration risk and that is true of DEM. The WisdomTree fund nearly two-thirds of its weight to Taiwan, China and Russia.And while DEM is acting less turbulent than the MSCI benchmark this year, the dividend ETF has heavy cyclical exposure with about 54% of its weight allocated to financial, energy and materials stocks. Among other traits, one in favor of DEM is the potential for a swath of interest rate cuts across developing economies, such as the one unveiled by Brazil on Wednesday.As of this writing, Todd Shriber owned shares of DEM.

7 of the Best SPDR ETFs — Besides SPY and GLD
State Street's (NYSE:STT) SPDR brand is one of the most recognizable brands in the ETF universe. With that superior brand recognition comes heft. As of June 26, SPDR is the third-largest U.S. ETF sponsor and has $642.6 billion in ETF assets under management. That is more than triple the amount of its next-largest peer.In terms of sheer population, there are hundreds of SPDR ETFs, but among the issuer's most well-known offerings are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY), the world's largest ETF; the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD), the world's largest gold-backed fund; and a the largest (by assets) lineup of sector ETFs, including the Financial Sector Spider ETF (NYSEARCA:XLF).SPDR ETFs span an array of asset classes, including stocks, bond, commodities and real estate, among others. Additionally, there are some inexpensive SPDR ETFs, meaning frugal investors can find plenty of funds to embrace in the SPDR lineup.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Stocks That Should Be Every Young Investor's First Choice You probably already know about the likes of GLD and SPY, so let's look at some other SPDR ETFs that may merit a place in your portfolio. SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35% per year, or $35 on a $10,000 investment.SPDR ETFs include several dividend funds and the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF(NYSEARCA:SDY) is one of the gems of the bunch. Home to $18.54 billion in assets under management, SDY is one of the largest dividend ETFs, but this SPDR ETF impresses on several other fronts, including its status as a clear quality play.SDY targets the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats and while that index overtly says "high yield" in its name, this SPDR ETF is a credible dividend growth play because the index requires member firms to have dividend increase streaks of at least 20 years. That is one of the longest such requirements among all dividend funds."Due to the index screen for 20 years of consecutively raising dividends, stocks included in the Index have both capital growth and dividend income characteristics, as opposed to stocks that are pure yield," according to State Street.SDY holds 112 stocks and allocates over a third of its combined weight to the industrial and financial services sectors. SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35%Speaking of the financial services sector, one of the best SPDR ETFs to consider over the near-term is the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (NYSEARCA:KBE). Unlike the aforementioned XLF, KBE is dedicated to bank stocks, meaning investors will not find diversified financial companies or property and casualty insurance providers in this SPDR ETF.KBE is up nearly 16% year-to-date, an impressive resurgence after bank stocks languished in 2018. More good news for this SPDR ETF and rival bank funds emerged on June 28 following the completion of the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review, or CCAR. * 3 Dow Jones Stocks to Buy for the Second Half To put things simply, the CCAR results pave the way for many of the largest U.S. banks, including plenty of KBE components, to significantly boost dividends and share repurchase efforts. KBE yields just 2.11% so there is plenty of room for dividend growth with this SPDR ETF. SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (GLDM)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.18%Gold has been a torrid pace, putting the spotlight on related ETFs, including the SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust (NYSEARCA:GLDM). A simple way of looking at this SPDR ETF is that it is the cost-effective counterpart to the aforementioned GLD."Shares of GLDM are designed for investors who want a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in gold and will be offered on a continuous basis," according to State Street.In late June, GLDM celebrated its first birthday and the SPDR ETF has more than $788 million in assets under management, indicating investors like a good deal with gold ETFs, too.With the Federal Reserve poised to lower interest rates and the dollar already weakening, this SPDR ETF could continue surging over the near term. SPDR Portfolio Emerging Markets ETF (SPEM)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.11%With $2.74 billion in assets under management, the SPDR Portfolio Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:SPEM) is not a small SPDR ETF, but it is overlooked relative to some other emerging markets ETFs offered by rival issues. That said, SPEM has at least one thing going for it: currently, it is the cheapest emerging markets ETF available in the U.S.SPEM offers broad, cost-effective emerging markets exposure as it holds 1,542 stocks from nearly 30 countries. Investors should note South Korean stocks are not part of this SPDR ETF because SPEM tracks and S&P index and that index provider classifies South Korea as a developed market. China, Taiwan and India combine for about 59% of SPEM's geographic exposure. * 3 Energy Stocks to Trade Now With Confidence Due to the lack of South Korea exposure, investors should expect SPEM to generate significantly different returns over the long-term than the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. This SPDR ETF has adequate exposure to growth sectors with communication services and consumer discretionary names combining for about a quarter of the fund's roster. SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.40%SPDR ETFs featured an extensive lineup of fixed funds, including some products with niche focuses. For its part, the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (NYSEARCA:CWB) is the dominant name among convertible bond ETFs and index funds.In the fixed income space, convertibles are one of the segments with high correlations to equities because convertible bonds can be converted into common stock of the underlying issuer. With that in mind, it is not surprising to see CWB perform well when equities are doing the same.Though this point may be rendered moot over the near-term because the Fed could lower interest rates, long-term investors may want to consider CWB because convertible bonds often outperform other fixed income assets when interest rates rise. Due to its upside linkage to equities, that is CWB's primary form of investor compensation, meaning the fund is a lower yielder compared to traditional corporate bond ETFs. SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35%The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) is one of the most popular biotech ETFs and sets itself apart in a crowded field by being an equal-weight, not a cap-weighted fund. This SPDR ETF's 119 holdings have a weighted average market value of $10.3 billion, indicating this is primarily a mid-cap fund.XBI's weighting methodology leads to vastly different returns relative to its cap-weighted rivals. While the tilt to smaller stocks makes this SPDR ETF more volatile than cap-weighted biotech funds, XBI has outperformed the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index by a margin of better than 2-to-1 over the past three years.This SPDR ETF is up nearly 20% year-to-date and some market observers see more upside coming for biotechnology stocks and ETFs. * 7 Stocks on Sale the Insiders Are Buying "In the last month this group has actually been the best-performing sector of any of the major groups," said Newton Advisors technical analyst Mark Newton in an interview with CNBC. "Just in the last couple of weeks, you've seen this entire downtrend since late last year be broken in health care relative to the S&P," he said of a trendline stretching from its peak in December to mid-May." SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF (DWX)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.45%The SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:DWX) is over 11 years old and has nearly $833 million in assets under management, so this SPDR ETF is neither new nor small, but it can be overlooked. Still, DWX is a practical option for investors looking for exposure to high dividend ex-US stocks.This SPDR ETF "seeks to provide exposure to the 100 highest yielding international common stocks that have passed certain sustainability and earnings growth screens," according to State Street.DWX is a focused fund with just 97 holdings, but its dividend yield of 4.03% is more than double that of the S&P 500. Up nearly 13% year-to-date, DWX is outperforming the MSCE EAFE Index by about 100 basis points.DWX provides exposure to 20 countries, three of which are developed markets, but Canada and Australia combine for almost 34% of the fund's weight.Todd Shriber owns shares of XLF.

5 Quality ETFs That Qualify for Your Portfolio
Most investment factors are easy to understand. Value stocks are those names perceived to be trading at discounts to the broader market. Growth stocks are those posting superior earnings and revenue increases, while the low volatility factor offers exposure to equities with favorable volatility traits.When it comes the quality factor, however, there are varying definitions and traits used by investors to assess what constitutes quality."It's likely the factor where opinions are most diverse regarding the definition," according to Factor Research. "Broadly speaking there are qualitative and quantitative evaluations and these are often combined in a scoring model. Criteria like management quality or the soundness of strategy are intuitively appealing, but difficult to verify given a lack of data."InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsWhile definitions for quality vary, some of the factor's stickier attributes would include companies that are not highly leveraged -- or at the very least if they carrying debt, they have strong credit ratings and interest coverage ratios, strong return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), modest earnings variability, and solid management teams. Penchants for rewarding investors via buybacks and dividends can also be part of the quality assessment. * 7 Stocks to Buy As They Hit 52-Week Lows Investors wanting to integrate quality into their portfolios are in luck because there plenty of dedicated quality ETFs on the market today. Here are some of the best of breed quality ETFs to consider. iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL)Source: PixabayExpense ratio: 0.15% per year, or $15 on a $10,000 investment.Home to $10.55 billion in assets under management, the iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (CBOE:QUAL) is the king of dedicated quality ETFs. QUAL, which turns six years old next month, tracks the MSCI USA Sector Neutral Quality Index and holds 125 stocks.This ETF's approach to quality is straight forward as it targets "stocks exhibiting positive fundamentals (high return on equity, stable year-over-year earnings growth and low financial leverage)," according to iShares.Like other factor-based strategies, quality ETFs usually are not required to have overweight exposure to a particular sector or sectors. However, some groups often display more quality intensity than others. When it comes to QUAL, this quality ETF allocates almost half its combined weight to the technology, healthcare and financial services sectors.Quality can also mean lower volatility as highlighted by QUAL's three-year standard deviation of 10.94%, which is lower than the same metric on some other single-factor funds. JPMorgan U.S. Quality Factor ETF (JQUA)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.12%The JPMorgan U.S. Quality Factor ETF (NYSEARCA:JQUA) is another dedicated quality ETF and an inexpensive one at that. With an annual fee of just 0.12%, JQUA is one of the cheapest single-factor funds that is not a value or growth strategy. JQUA uses "a rules-based approach that matches Russell 1000 sector weights and selects stocks based on quality and profitability characteristics," according to JPMorgan Asset Management.JQUA holds nearly 230 stocks, giving it a deeper bench than the aforementioned QUAL. Perhaps the biggest advantage of this quality ETF is its robust ROE. At the end of April, JQUA's ROE was 28.36%, or nearly 800 basis points above that of the Russell 1000 Index, according to issuer data. * 7 A-Rated Stocks to Buy Under $10 JQUA allocates about 55% of its combined weight to the technology, financial services and consumer discretionary sectors. Year-to-date, this quality ETF is higher by nearly 14%. SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35%As has been widely noted, dividends are integral to well-balanced portfolios and vital to investors' long-term outcomes. Dividends are also one of the premier quality traits, particularly dependable dividend growth. Hence, the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:SDY) merits a place in this discussion of quality ETFs.SDY, one of the largest domestic dividend ETFs, tracks the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, which requires member firms to have increased payouts for at least 20 consecutive years. Although SDY's components are weighted by yield, this is not a high-yield fund as highlighted by its trailing 12-month dividend yield of 2.37%.The industrial, financial services and consumer staples sectors combine for almost half of SDY's weight, giving it a different sector profile than the aforementioned quality ETFs. With the business cycle in its late innings, some market observers believe quality ETFs will benefit investors."Stretched valuations and slowing growth depict a late cycle environment, but this doesn't mean that investors should abandon equities," said State Street in a recent note. "Focusing on quality stocks with reasonable valuations may mitigate the episodic microbursts of volatility typical of a late-cycle market." WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRS)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.38%Yes, the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Fund (NASDAQ:DGRS) has "quality" in its name, but this fund is a credible quality ETF for more valid reasons. Notably, DGRS' weighting methodology emphasizes ROA and ROE.Those are important traits with dividend stocks because strong ROA and ROE metrics imply companies not only have the ability to sustain current payouts, but raise those dividends in the future. Using ROA and ROE with small-cap stocks can prove efficacious because many smaller companies take on debt to fuel growth, punishing ROA and ROE along the way."We also know that typically companies that have the highest debt burdens are more acutely exposed to a deceleration in the economy," according to WisdomTree. * 4 Antitrust Tech Stocks to Keep an Eye On Not surprisingly, DGRS outpaced the Russell 2000 Index by more than 450 basis points during the 2018 fourth-quarter market swoon. Although DGRS is a dividend growth strategy, its yield is more than double that of the Russell 2000. Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.15%The Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (NYSEARCA:SPHQ) is one of the elder statesmen of the quality ETF group having debuted in late 2005. Age usually should not be a deciding factor when it comes to ETFs, but SPHQ's long track record gives investors willing to do some homework an idea of how the fund has performed across multiple market cycles, good and bad.SPHQ follow the S&P 500 Quality Index. That benchmark is home to 100 S&P 500 members "that have the highest quality score, which is calculated based on three fundamental measures, return on equity, accruals ratio and financial leverage ratio," according to Invesco.For investors that want to focus on ROE, SPHQ is a quality ETF that makes a lot of sense because its ROE is a stellar 42.70%.That says something about the technology sector because that group accounts for 41.71% of this quality ETF's weight. Healthcare and consumer discretionary names combine for almost 21% of SPHQ's roster.Todd Shriber does not own any of the aforementioned securities.
