DVY offers exposure to the US high-dividend space that skews toward smaller firms paying consistent dividends. The fund's dividend yield is, in theory at least, sustainable: DVY's methodology has a robust sustainability screen, designed to ensure companies pay steady and rising dividends by using five-year dividend growth, payout ratio, and payment history criteria. REITs are allowed, and stocks that make the cut are dividend-weighted.
