WTV: My Balanced Take On WisdomTree's Low-Cost Active Solid Shareholder Yield ETF
WisdomTree U.S. Value Fund has outperformed IWD since adopting a shareholder yield focus in 2017 but exhibits higher volatility and drawdowns. WTV's strategy blends quality and shareholder yield, emphasizing buybacks and dividends, but its quality metrics lag IWD and DIVB, making it 'quality-aware' rather than 'quality-focused.' With a 5.86% shareholder yield, 14.64x forward P/E, and 13.63% next-year EPS growth, WTV offers strong GARP characteristics plus solid sector diversification.
In This ETF, Buybacks, Dividends Don't Compete
Last year was the fifth consecutive one in which U.S. companies allocated more capital to share repurchases than dividends. There are some reasons for that.
