Kraneshares S&P Pan Asia Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (KDIV)

Overview

The fund is primarily focused on investing in companies listed on the S&P Pan Asia Dividend Aristocrats® Index. This index includes companies from the S&P Pan Asia BMI Index that have a consistent record of increasing their dividends for at least seven consecutive years, showcasing financial stability and a strong commitment to returning value to shareholders. The fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to instruments either directly in its index or those with economic characteristics closely mirroring those in the index, ensuring a focused investment strategy aimed at dividend growth. As a non-diversified fund, it may invest more heavily in fewer securities, which could mean higher volatility but potentially greater returns on those investments.
