DES offers a different choice amid the cacophony of many US small-cap ETFs, as it is a fund focused on yield. DES' strategy does indeed provide higher dividend yield than the market by overweighting dividend-heavy sectors. DES also leans toward the micro-cap side of the small-cap space. Index constituents are based on the remaining market capitalization of the WisdomTree US Dividend Index the dividend-paying universe of companies in the U.S. stock market after the 300 largest companies are removed. Companies comprising the bottom 25% of the remaining market capitalization are selected for inclusion. The Underlying Index is rebalanced annually. Prior to June 30, 2017, the funds index was named the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index.
Distribution yield and SEC yield use different methodologies. Payouts may include income, capital gains, or return of capital.
