What is DIVS?

The SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities in dividend-paying companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). Equity Securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to assess a company s ability to maintain consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth. One key measure of a company s ability to achieve consistent, real dividend growth is its consistency in generating returns on capital, which is a measure of income produced by a company when compared to capital invested in the company s operations. In the Adviser s view, dividend builder refers to a dividend-paying company which the Adviser believes will experience increasing dividends over time. The Fund is actively managed.
