The markets are turning out to be quite unpredictable this year.
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Small Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend ETF (DES) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on June 16, 2006.
After a decade of Big Tech dominance that delivered strong returns to Nasdaq investors, the market may be setting up for a rotation.
DES is a well-established ETF comprised of small-cap dividend-paying stocks. Its expense ratio is 0.38%, and the fund's trailing yield is 2.85%. Stocks are screened for quality and momentum, while the fund excludes many of the highest-yielding securities in the universe (mainly REITs). Still, its estimated forward yield is solid at 3.08%. My fundamental analysis suggests that, despite inferior long-term performance, DES's portfolio is stronger than IJS's, a small-cap value benchmark that covers S&P SmallCap 600 Index stocks.
For decades, small-cap value was one of the most potent factor combinations, but that compelling history doesn't mean small-cap value wins out every year. There are times when “junkier” small stocks beat broader small-cap indexes.
