Fund info

The ALPS | O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend ETF is an exchange-traded fund focused on providing investors with access to a diversified portfolio of high-quality, dividend-paying large- and mid-cap companies based in developed markets outside the United States. Its primary function is to track the performance of the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index, which selects companies according to a range of fundamental factors, including return on assets, financial leverage, dividend growth, and stability. Companies are further screened and weighted based on considerations such as quality, volatility, dividend yield, and dividend consistency, aiming to provide exposure to firms with robust financial health and reliable income streams. The ETF is designed for those seeking exposure to international equities, emphasizing quality and income characteristics to help moderate risk inherent in non-U.S. markets. By investing in companies that meet strict criteria for consistent and sustainable dividends, the fund plays a role in portfolios looking for diversification from U.S. equities, with a particular focus on income generation and risk mitigation in developed international economies.
