DGRS delivers a portfolio in the crowded small-cap ETF space. The fund's portfolio construction scheme whittles down the 2,000 dividend-paying companies to 25% stocks with the lowest capitalization that have growth and quality characteristics. Specifically, the fund screens for funds with strong long-term earnings growth expectations, and strong historical return-on-equity and return-on-assets. This process creates some sector tilts and a style bias—toward value not growth. Stocks projected to pay more dividends are weighted more heavily based on their most recently declared dividend per share. The index is rebalanced annually.
