Despite continued concentration in mega-cap technology stocks, US dividend-focused strategies have generally remained competitive and historically experienced more shallow drawdowns than broader equity markets. Last year, US companies paid a record US$704.8 billion in dividends - the 15th consecutive annual record. Concurrently, dividend growth accelerated across several international markets, highlighting the continued strength of shareholder-return trends.
Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (SYLD) employs a shareholder yield strategy, emphasizing dividends, buybacks, and debt paydown, resulting in deep value exposure. SYLD is overweight energy, consumer discretionary, and financials, but underweight technology, industrials, and real estate, leading to modest growth and profitability metrics. At a 10.9x P/E, SYLD trades at a significant discount to the S&P MidCap 400 and peers, but its growth (-3.2% earnings, 0.5% sales) and profitability (12.5% ROE) lag benchmarks.
The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF targets U.S. stocks with high shareholder yield, combining dividends, buybacks, and debt paydowns using a quantitative approach. SYLD's portfolio is diversified across 99 small- and mid-cap stocks, with notable exposure in financials, consumer discretionary, energy, and materials, and strong value characteristics. SYLD has outperformed the S&P MidCap 400 benchmark since 2013 and several peer ETFs since 2017, though with higher volatility and a relatively high 0.59% expense ratio.
