RDIV tracks an index (the RevenueShares Ultra Dividend Index) that yields 4.92%, as of 30 September 2013.
The index is weighted by top-line company revenue to emphasize constituents with high current yields that can be expected to drive price appreciation and dividend growth. RDIV is diversified among growth and income-oriented market sectors, as well as among large- and mid-cap companies.
Vince Lowry, CEO of RevenueShares, said: "Dividends have been a reliable source of income in today’s low interest rate environment. The RevenueShares Ultra Dividend Fund strives to invest in the highest yielding stocks with weighting preference given to the strongest revenue producers."
The S&P 900 index, which combines the constituent stocks of the S&P 500 and S&P 400, serves as RDIV’s benchmark index. The RevenueShares Ultra Dividend Index includes the 60 highest dividend yielding constituents of the S&P 900 index based on average quarterly yield over the previous 12 months. These holdings are then weighted by company revenue.
