This fund aims to replicate, before its operational costs, the overall investment performance of the S&P High Yield Dividend AristocratsTM Index. The index specifically targets corporations that have demonstrated an unbroken track record of dividend increases over two decades or more, subsequently assigning weight to these holdings based on their current dividend yield. This stringent requirement for a prolonged history of rising dividends ensures that the index constituents offer a blend of potential capital appreciation and reliable income, rather than being purely high-yielding investments.

Key Metrics
Distribution Yield
2.53%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Distribution
$3.8720
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
Q Quarterly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
56.9
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
36
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$135.96 – $159.18
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
n/a
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying
18
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.Price / Book
-
Price-to-book ratio: share price divided by book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

Distribution Growth
3-Yr Growth (CAGR)4.4%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.
5-Yr Growth (CAGR)3.8%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.
Consecutive Increases3 yrsThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
SDY's distribution yield rose from 2.29% to 2.53% over the past ~90 days (+0.24 pp). Of that move, +0.25 pp came from changes in the distribution rate and -0.00 pp from the share price ($152.84 → $153.00). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
