CSB's idea is to amalgamate high-yield dividend-paying U.S. small-cap stocks, placing more weight on those with stronger low-volatility characteristics. CSB has delivered some healthy returns since its inception, beating a few of its counterparts. But the fairly perplexing issue is that its value- and low-volatility-centered strategy was incapable of effectively minimizing losses during the 2022 bear market as it was down double digits.

WATCH: ETF of the Week: VictoryShares US Small Cap High Dividend Volatility Wtd ETF (CSB)

CSB is a volatility-weighted small-cap ETF that yields 3.30%. Its long-term performance is solid compared to peers, but weak fundamentals led to disappointing returns last year. CSB overweights Consumer Discretionary stocks, an odd feature for a portfolio that's designed to lessen risk. It's one clue that CSB isn't the best way to play defense.

CSB: Impressive 3.30% Dividend Yield, But Still Unappealing

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Cambridge Savings Bank (CSB), a full-service mutual bank with a customer-first approach and $6 billion in assets, today announced that its Asset-Based Lending team provided an $8.8 million credit facility to Cascade School Supplies .

This article summarizes the performance of the entire U.S. equity market by examining 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y returns for 850+ ETFs across 40 categories. Major indices declined, but investing in Energy, High-Dividend, and Large-Cap Value ETFs softened the blow. Meanwhile, searching for the bottom in mega-cap growth and thematic ETFs didn't work.

CSB is a $201 million fund focusing on generous dividend payers from the U.S. small-cap equity echelon, with attention paid to the volatility factor. As the small size in most cases is synonymous with lower multiples compared to sector medians, CSB has unsurprisingly substantial exposure to the value factor.

CSB: Mixed Performance, Worrisome Quality

CSB holds 100 low-volatile small-cap value stocks. I've estimated its yield to be 2.85% net of fees, and it's outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index since its inception. Regional Banks make up the fund's largest exposure area, accounting for nearly 20% of the ETF. Usually, this industry is very volatile, but quality appears sacrificed for the lower risk.

CSB focuses on high yielders in the small-cap space and also attempts to tone down the overall volatility profile of the portfolio.

CSB: Deserves More Attention

While the dividend profile of small cap equities is evolving, the continued reality is that many investors don't associate smaller stocks with dividends. That stands to reason, as the widely followed Russell 2000 Index yields just 0.92% as of May 24.
