About DIVB

The iShares U.S. Dividend and Buyback ETF (DIVB) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. companies that have paid dividends and conducted share buybacks. This dual approach combines dividend income with the potential benefits of share repurchases.

  • Targets companies with both dividends and buybacks
  • Quarterly dividend distributions
  • 0.49% expense ratio
  • Balanced approach to shareholder returns
  • Focus on capital allocation discipline

Key Investment Features

  • Dual Strategy: Combines dividend payments with share buyback benefits
  • Capital Allocation: Focuses on companies with disciplined capital allocation
  • Shareholder Returns: Multiple ways to return value to shareholders
  • Quality Screen: Companies must demonstrate both dividend and buyback activity
  • Diversification: Spread across sectors and market caps
  • Tax Efficiency: Buybacks can be more tax-efficient than dividends

Important Considerations

  • Buyback effectiveness depends on share price timing
  • Companies may reduce buybacks during market stress
  • Higher expense ratio compared to broad market ETFs
  • Strategy performance can vary across market cycles
  • Regulatory changes could affect buyback practices
  • Concentration risk in companies that consistently buy back shares
