OUSA is an index-based ETF that is focused on highly profitable, debt-light U.S. dividend-paying companies. It shuns the real estate, energy, and materials sectors. OUSA did a great job selecting top-quality dividend-paying companies. It has also excelled at picking less volatile names, as the weighted-average beta coefficients illustrate. Yet assuming its high expense ratio of 48 bps, a bleak dividend yield of 1.66%, and small growth exposure, I believe there is no sufficient reason to buy into it.
