Inflation rose by more than expected in September, ensuring the Federal Reserve continues its aggressive rate hikes as it aims to curb 40-year high inflation. With continued rising interest rates and hints of recessionary conditions in the global economy, ALPS O'Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF (OUSA) is a strong offering to consider.

Check Out OUSA to Mitigate Volatility and Increase Yield

While there's considerable debate when it comes to defining quality as an investment factor, something that's not up for argument is the factor's all-weather status.

When Quality Matters, Depend on DIVS

As near-term volatility is expected to increase, the ALPS O'Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF (OUSA) remains a strong offering in the current environment.

As Investors Brace for Volatility, Look to OUSA's Quality Methodology

With eight and a half months in the books in 2022, some themes as they pertain to equities are now abundantly clear. One of those is the point that dividend stocks and the related exchange traded funds, broadly speaking, are easily topping the broader market.

Dividends Are 2022 Difference Makers

Dividend investing is rightfully framed as a long-term investing style. Indeed, over the long haul, dividends account for significant percentages of portfolio returns, and that proposition is enhanced by reinvesting payouts.

Dive Into DIVS for Long-Term Equity Income

Dividend stocks and the related exchange traded funds are outperforming the broader market this year, with much of that positivity attributable to high-dividend fare. For investors, that's been a boon when interest rates are still low, and bonds falter, among other reasons.

Good Time to Consider Dividend/Value Combination

September has a well-earned reputation for being unkind to equities. The ninth month of the year is also often not the best time to own gold, but that doesn't mean investors need to run for the hills.

September Fine Time to Consider Equity Income ETFs

Positive dividend data continue piling up and that's good news for an assortment of exchange traded funds, including the SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF (DIVS).

As Dividend Records Are Toppled, Drill Down on DIVS

The ALPS O'Shares U.S. Quality Dividend ETF (OUSA) gained 0.17% last week, outperforming the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Value Index, which ended the week in the red, as volatility increased within U.S. equities amid rising long-term interest rates.

OUSA's Defensive Quality Positioning Outperformed Major Indexes Last Week

Dividend stocks and exchange traded funds are delivering for investors this year, and while high-dividend strategies are commanding much of the positive attention, payout growth is always meaningful over the long term.

Dividend Forecasts Augur Well for DIVS

Dividend stocks and exchange traded funds are back in style in a big way this year and while that's certainly good news for investors seeking income and reduced volatility, investors still need to be selective when evaluating dividend ETFs. An excellent avenue for doing just that is SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF (DIVS).

Dividend Rebound Supports This ETF

Whether it's dividend chasing or simply a case of investors looking for income beyond bonds and for a less volatile equity frontier, market participants are embracing dividend funds, including exchange traded funds, in a big way in 2022.

Instead of Dividend Chasing, Depend on DIVS

Dividend strategies are outperforming the broader market this year, but within that category, high-dividend strategies are really standing out. That doesn't mean investors should lose sight of exchange traded funds that focus on payout growth, such as the SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF (DIVS).

DIVS Has Inflation-Fighting Goods

ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF

The S&P 500 is expected to report year-over-year earnings growth of 4.3% for the second quarter as of Friday, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet. Based on the average improvement in earnings growth during each earnings season due to companies reporting positive surprises, it is likely the index will report earnings growth [.

S&P 500 Earnings Growth Expectations Favorable for Dividend ETFs

Dependability and durability are hard to come by in financial markets this year, but dividend-paying stocks are, at the very least, proving less bad than broader benchmarks this year. High-dividend companies, or those firms with noticeably above-average dividend yields, and the related exchange traded funds are delivering the goods in terms of income and performance.

Data Confirm Dividends Are Dynamite

Dividend, value, and low volatility strategies outperformed in the first half of the year, demonstrating a continuing emphasis on defense.  The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (SDOG) has been ALPS' most popular ETF by net inflows for the last few months.

Dividend Strategies Outperform in First Half

Dividend stocks and exchange traded funds, broadly speaking, are outperforming the broader market, providing some relief to investors battling rising interest rates and soaring inflation. However, equity income strategies aren't risk-free bets, and it pays for market participants to be highly selective in this arena.

DIVS Tempers Equity Income Risks

When it comes to dividend exchange traded funds, investors are often forced to choose between yield-based strategies or funds that emphasize dividend increase streaks. However, some dividend ETFs are able to deliver on both fronts while not emphasizing either.

DIVS Offers Best of Both Worlds Approach to Dividends

In one of the more frustrating years in recent memory for investors, a familiar face is providing shelter from the storm: Dividend stocks. That's good news for dividend exchange traded funds, including the SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF (DIVS).

Dividend Durability on Display in 2022

The S&P 500 tumbled 3.88% on Monday, taking the benchmark domestic equity gauge into a bear market. With that, investors are understandably pensive.

In Rough Market Environment, Case for Dividends Grows

With equity markets slumping in the first half of 2022, valuations on a variety of segments are more attractive today than they were in 2021. That includes select dividend growth stocks.
