Federated Hermes US Strategic Dividend ETF

FDV seeks income and long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of high dividend-paying US stocks with the potential for dividend growth.

The Federated Hermes U.S. Strategic Dividend ETF aims to generate income and long-term capital value by investing in high-dividend U.S. stocks with the potential for payout growth. The fund's sector allocation favors defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples, offering stability and income protection against market downturns. Active management allows FDV to outperform passive dividend ETFs, focusing on both current income and future income growth, despite a higher expense ratio.

FDV is an actively-managed dividend fund, emphasizing low-volatile stocks with strong dividend growth potential. Its AUM is $104 million and its expense ratio is 0.50% after waivers. Its 3.63% expected yield is somewhat attractive, but at least 16 others pay more, with most delivering much better total returns. FDV has barely broken even since November 2022. FDV's managers operate with high conviction but to the detriment of shareholders. Like before, they continue to ignore quality, growth, and sentiment indicators.
