The Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF, identified by the ticker DIV, endeavors to broadly replicate the gross investment performance—including both capital appreciation and income generation—of the Indxx SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index.
Is DIV's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.
The Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (DIV) made its debut on 03/11/2013, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Value category of the market.
I got quite a few notes in the mailbag last week. One that piqued my interest was from JT who asked if there are any ETFs or mutual funds that have a dividend investing philosophy similar to mine.
I maintain the Hold rating on the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF as I expect it to underperform the market into 2027. DIV's portfolio is heavily skewed toward small- and mid-cap value/deep value names, with a 7.6% adjusted weighted average earnings yield but very weak earnings growth. I expect the DIV portfolio's low beta, weak quality, and anemic growth characteristics to detract from returns into 2027.
That 9% yield looks like a dream until you check what happened to the principal underneath it. Some of today's most popular high-yield ETFs have a track record that should make income investors rethink what a big distribution actually costs them.
Or is there a happy medium?
