It should be implicit that dividend investing, whether it be by individual stocks or via exchange traded funds, is a long-term strategy. After all, that's the most effective way for market participants to leverage dividend reinvestment, or compounding, for success.

Long-Term Case for Dividend Investing Alive and Well

DURA features the rare combination of low-volatility, high dividends, and high quality. It competes well with SPHD and LVHD, and is a nice choice for defensive dividend investors. With an expected 3.38% yield, there are higher-paying options. Also, the ETF hasn't attracted new investors over the last six months, so it might not be the best long-term play. Still, I believe investors should begin considering low-volatility ETFs again since broad-market earnings revisions are trending downward. The bull market is finally losing steam.

Investing in dividend-paying stocks has proved to be a helpful strategy, outperforming global markets over the long term. Dividend income strategies play an important role for multi-asset income portfolios. But they can also run the risk of being too narrowly focused, which can limit both income potential and upside participation when equity markets rise.
