About BMO CANADIAN DIVIDEND CANADIAN DIVIDEND ETF CAD

The fund seeks income generation and long-term capital growth by using a dividend strategy on the Canadian equity market. It seeks to identify high yielding dividend equities, while screening for dividend sustainability and historical growth. A proprietary, rules-based methodology is applied on large-, mid-, and small-cap Canadian dividend payers. Eligible securities are screened for positive 3-year dividend growth rate and dividend payout sustainability, and then ranked by dividend yield. The top 50 yielding companies that pass both screens make up the portfolio. The resulting portfolio is weighted by yield, subject to a 35% sector cap and a 10% single security cap. The portfolio is rebalanced and reconstituted annually in June and December, respectively.
