QDIV: Global X's Quality Dividend ETF Was Flawed From The Start
QDIV selects S&P 500 Index stocks that rank in the top 200 on both dividend yield and quality, as determined by return on equity, accruals ratio, and leverage. The strategy seems reasonable, but QDIV has only attracted $31 million in assets under management since its launch seven years ago. Its failure to resonate with investors has me curious. I found QDIV's weighting scheme to be the most likely culprit, and based on early reports from Global X, it looks like the decision to equal-weight components was flawed.
