Three Dividend ETFs Outside the S&P 500 That Are Beating It and Paying Up to 3.4 Percent
Most dividend ETF conversations start and end with the S&P 500. That is fine if you already own Schwab U.S.
CDL Delivers Capital Gains Alongside Income as Rates Hover Near 4.4%
The VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF (NASDAQ:CDL) pulls its distribution from dividends paid by large U.S.
CDL: A Surprisingly Solid Dividend Growth Complement To SCHD
VictoryShares US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility-Weighted ETF (CDL) emerges as a top dividend growth ETF pick for its stable, low-volatility, large-cap US stock selection. CDL offers a 3.1% yield, monthly dividends, and a 0.35% expense ratio, with sector caps and a unique volatility-weighted methodology limiting concentration risks. CDL's performance is consistently strong versus peers, with less reliance on energy sector outperformance and lower portfolio concentration than competitors like FDL.
Which ETFs Can Replace a $75K Salary on Dividends Alone?
Replacing a salary with dividend income is not a lottery fantasy, but more of a math problem with a specific answer, and the answer depends almost entirely on yield.
CDL: Long-Term Outperformance Is Unlikely Despite Recent Success
VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF brings together the high dividend and low volatility factors, with a touch of quality. With a portfolio having a 5.6% weighted average EY and a 24-month beta of 0.43, CDL is beating IVV this year amid the rotation, as investors are abandoning growthier names. Nevertheless, I remain skeptical about CDL owing to its anemic historical upside capture and significant underperformance vs. the S&P 500 ETF since 2015.
CDL: A Mixed Bag Of High Dividend And Low Volatility
VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF holds 100 large and mid-caps selected by yields and weighted based on volatility. CDL is well-diversified, has value characteristics, and has a focus on utilities and consumer staples. CDL has underperformed SPY and SCHD but leads in total returns among specialized high-dividend, low-volatility ETFs.
CDL: High Yields, Low Valuation
CDL offers a compelling blend of high dividend yields, low volatility, and attractive valuation, making it appealing as rates decline and markets remain volatile. The fund's defensive tilt is driven by heavy allocations to utilities and consumer staples, supporting resilience and income during market pullbacks. Compared to peers, CDL trades at a discount and delivers above-average yields, though it lags the benchmark in growth and profitability due to sector choices.
CDL: A Defensive, 3.3%-Yielding Complement To Other Dividend ETFs
CDL combines large-cap stocks, high dividend yields, and low volatility, making it a strong defensive complement to other dividend ETFs. Despite its higher expense ratio and similar volatility to peers, CDL boasts robust total returns and consistent dividend growth since inception. CDL's portfolio is heavily weighted in utilities and consumer staples, providing fundamental defensiveness and stability in various economic scenarios.
CDL: Little To Show, Look At SCHD Instead
VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF has a portfolio of 100 dividend stocks selected based on yield and weighted based on volatility. CDL is well-diversified, has value characteristics, and is focused on utilities and financials. SCHD does better than CDL not only in historical return, yield and volatility, but also in dividend growth, liquidity, and expense ratio.
CDL: A High Dividend And Low Volatility ETF, Not A Strong Growth Profile
CDL's 3.2% dividend yield and low P/E ratio make it attractive for income-focused portfolios, but not for growth-oriented investors. The ETF's sector allocation is heavily tilted towards utilities, energy, and financials, with minimal exposure to technology and industrials. CDL's low volatility and defensive strategy provide downside protection, but its growth potential is limited due to sector biases.
CDL Truck Driving School Shutters Operations, Files for Bankruptcy
Pacific NW Professional Driving School, doing business as Toro Trucking Academy, filed a Chapter 7 petition, which means it is seeking to wind down operations and liquidate its assets, Wednesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington. A company representative blamed the closure on "all the market forces that are happening in the industry today." "Increasing regulations that just get worse and worse and harder and harder to do business" the spokesperson for Toro Trucking Academy, who didn't want to be named, told FreightWaves. "You've got the industry economic situation, and fuel prices [in the Pacific Northwest] have more than doubled. Then you have personnel costs and trying to operate in states like Washington and Oregon that are unfriendly to businesses. That all adds up and it just crushes you over time." window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/FW-Responsive-Main_Content-Slot1', [[300, 100], [320, 50], [728, 90], [468, 60]], 'div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); In the petition, Ryan Kling, who is listed as owner and president, states that while his lot lease to store the company's tractors and trailers is paid through May, the trucking school's property insurance policy expired in March and the carrier would not renew it. Toro Trucking Academy had 11 drivers and 13 power units at the time of its closure, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's SAFER website, but has trained thousands of professional drivers over the past 10 years. The company stopped posting images of its CDL graduates on its social media platforms in early April. The website for the trucking school's locations in Tacoma, Kent and Portland no longer works. "We didn't leave anyone hanging out there in the middle of training, so we were intentional about when we closed" the company spokesperson told FreightWaves. "We had an agreement with another CDL school if there were any students that needed anything after we closed. All of the students were taken care of and got their CDLs." window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot2', [[468, 60], [728, 90], [300, 100], [320, 50]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767472470-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); In its filing, Toro Trucking Academy lists its assets as between $100,000 and $500,000 and its liabilities as between $1 million and $10 million. The petition states the company has up to 49 creditors and maintains that funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors. The petition says the company is involved in two pending legal actions, including a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against it in King County Superior Court. The company is also awaiting the results of an audit conducted by the Washington State Department of Revenue. Among the company's top creditors with nonpriority unsecured loans are Bank of America in El Paso, Texas, owed more than $68,000, and Chase Card Services of Wilmington, Delaware, owed nearly $57,000. The petition states that First Business Bank of Madison, Wisconsin, has a security interest of around $1.2 million in multiple pieces of equipment. The carrier's gross revenues from Jan. 1 until its bankruptcy filing date were around $490,000. Its petition states the company made about $1.7 million in 2023 and nearly $2.3 million in 2022. As of publication, J. Todd Tracy, the trucking school's bankruptcy attorney, had not responded to FreightWaves' request for comment.
