ETF Overview
WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend ETF (DES) focuses on small cap dividend stocks in the United States. DES tracks the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index. The fund has high exposure to cyclical sectors and hence may continue to underperform in the current recessionary environment and we suspect many of the stocks in its portfolio may be forced to cut their dividends. DES’ portfolio of stocks has an inferior growth profile than its larger peers and has underperformed in the past. Hence, we think it may be better to invest in large-cap dividend funds.
