ADIV

ADIV aims to provide exposure to Asia Pacific companies it believes will have consistent dividend growth and have returned a real cash flow on investment of at least 8% for each of the last eight years. The fund's management applies a proprietary research method and traditional fundamental analysis to select stocks based on: a company's business and business prospects, market capitalization, company valuation, dividend history, debt to equity ratio, and its potential for consistent, real dividend growth. ADIV is expected to hold around 35 equally weighted positions, and may hold up to 20% in developed market securities outside the Asia-Pac universe. It may also hold any portion of the fund's assets in cash and cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes. On March 29, 2021, Guinness Atkinson was the first provider to formally convert a mutual fund to an ETF, with the conversion of ADIV and sibling fund DIVS.
