International Dividend Stocks Lag
It's been three months since the Presidential election, and in that time the S&P 500 has returned a solid 6.59%. US dividend-focused ETFs have likewise lagged the broad market to a degree, but they are still handily outperforming their international peers. The recent underperformance of international stocks relative to the US is nothing new and consistent with longer term trends.

SDY: A Reliable Dividend Income Fund With Trade-Offs In Growth
SDY focuses on dividend growth stocks with 20+ years of consecutive dividend increases, offering a 2.5% yield but has a high expense ratio of 0.35%. The fund's high exposure to defensive sectors provides stability, but its significant allocation to mid-cap stocks introduces higher volatility during economic downturns. Limited exposure to the technology sector constrains SDY's growth potential, making it less suitable for investors seeking both dividend growth and capital appreciation.
SDY: Why You Should Avoid These High Yield Dividend Aristocrats
SDY selects S&P Composite 1500 Index stocks with 20+ years of consecutive dividend growth. Its expense ratio is 0.35%, and the ETF has amassed an impressive $20 billion in assets. Despite its popularity, SDY is a poor choice for dividend investors. Its 2.51% expected dividend yield is mediocre, and downside risk protection appears to be its only redeeming feature. Instead, I'll demonstrate SDY's quality features are relatively poor. ETFs like VSDA and DGRO also feature similar yields and better combinations of quality, value, and growth.

Cap Gains Season to Spur ETF Demand
It is almost the official start of the holiday shopping season, also known as Thanksgiving. However, just as some retailers have offered savings to early shoppers, ETF providers have offered early tax benefits to investors.
SDY: Concentrated But Less Risky Than SPY
SDY offers a defensive investment option with a focus on high-yield dividend aristocrats, which can be appealing to both conservative and income-focused investors. Its growth prospects can be supported by the upcoming lower interest rates in the short- to midterm and by its approach to selecting stocks in the long term. The ETF's dividend aristocrat bias and modest valuation make it suitable for hedging today; something that is much needed amid serious risks and high valuations.
