Screening Filters
Annual Dividend Yield (min: 4.5%):
- Purpose: To identify ETFs that provide a strong dividend income.
- Rationale: Dividend yield is a key metric for income-focused investors. By setting a minimum threshold of 4.5%, the filter ensures that only ETFs with a relatively high dividend yield are included, aligning with the user's interest in dividend-focused investments.
Expense Ratio (max: 0.35%):
- Purpose: To ensure that the ETFs selected are cost-efficient.
- Rationale: Expense ratios represent the annual fees charged by ETFs. Lower expense ratios mean more of the dividend income is retained by the investor. By capping the expense ratio at 0.35%, the filter prioritizes ETFs that are both dividend-focused and cost-effective.
Weekly Average Turnover (min: 2,000,000):
- Purpose: To focus on ETFs with high liquidity.
- Rationale: Liquidity is important for ease of buying and selling ETFs without significant price impact. A minimum weekly average turnover of 2,000,000 ensures that the selected ETFs are actively traded, reducing the risk of illiquidity.
Stock Position Percentage (MoreThan50Pct):
- Purpose: To target ETFs that are primarily equity-focused.
- Rationale: Dividend-paying investments are typically associated with stocks, particularly those of established companies with a history of consistent payouts. By requiring that more than 50% of the ETF's holdings are in stocks, the filter ensures that the ETFs are aligned with the user's focus on dividends.
Why Results Match:
- The filters collectively ensure that the ETFs selected are high-yielding, cost-efficient, liquid, and equity-focused, all of which are critical characteristics for dividend-focused ETFs.
- The annual dividend yield filter directly addresses the user's priority for dividends, while the expense ratio filter ensures that the income generated is not eroded by high fees.
- The liquidity filter ensures that the ETFs are practical for trading, and the stock position percentage filter ensures that the ETFs are primarily invested in dividend-paying equities.
These filters work together to provide a curated list of ETFs that are well-suited for dividend-focused investors.
