Realty Shares flagship exchange traded fund, The Reality Shares DIVS ETF (DIVY), has marked the second anniversary of its launch having returned 7.94 per cent over the past two years.
DIVY seeks to deliver long-term capital appreciation based on the growth of dividends – not stock price – of large-cap companies.
An institutional-grade strategy designed to outperform bonds and alternative indices, DIVY has historically had low volatility and low correlation attributes.
“Investors are acutely aware that the bull market has been on a seven-year run and rates are poised to go higher in the near future. For the investor concerned about lower volatility and market correlation, DIVY provides a potential solution in a liquid, cost-effective ETF wrapper,” says Eric Ervin, CEO of Reality Shares. "As a former adviser, I saw the market needed a product that allowed investors to access the dividend growth rate of the S&P 500, and DIVY seeks to do just that.”
As of 16 December 2016, the fund is up 7.94 per cent YTD.
