Altrius Global Dividend ETF

Altrius Global Dividend ETF (DIVD) is an actively managed fund that owned 63 dividend-paying stocks as of July 31, 2026, chosen on the advice of Altrius Capital Management rather than by tracking an index. More than half its assets were outside the US, led by France and the UK, in companies the manager judges to be undervalued. It pays income monthly and charges 0.49% a year.

• Over the year to Oct 27, 2026, DIVD returned +24.3%.
• Its worst full calendar year was 2024 (+2.6%); its best was 2025 (+26.2%).
• The deepest fall in its price history was 13.9% (Mar 7, 2025 to Apr 8, 2025), recovered by Jun 3, 2025.

As of Jul 31, 2026, the fund held 63 securities; the ten largest made up 22.86% of assets.

• Over the three months to Jul 31, 2026, investors added a net $3.0M (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
• Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: -0.05%, +0.34%, +5.13%.

DIVD, issued by ETF Architect, is actively managed and follows no index. Altrius Capital Management recommends the stocks, and the adviser, Empowered Funds (doing business as EA Advisers), places the trades. At least 90% of net assets go into dividend-paying stocks, roughly 45 to 100 in all. These can include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which are US-traded certificates for shares of foreign companies. At least 30% must be outside the US. Emerging markets may reach 20% but are expected to stay under 5%.

Altrius chooses stocks in three steps. First, it picks sectors it expects to gain from global economic trends for at least five years. Second, it looks for dividends above the average for the S&P 500 or the MSCI EAFE, a benchmark of developed markets outside North America, ideally with 15 years of dividend increases. Third, it favors businesses it believes trade below their true worth, typically priced at less than 15 times earnings and cash flow.

No stock may exceed 10% of assets after periodic rebalancing, and at least 75% must sit in positions under 5% each. Positions were small: the largest, Capgemini, was 2.56% as of July 31, 2026. Altrius generally drops a stock if the company cuts its dividend or the shares look overvalued. Turnover, the share of holdings replaced in a year, was 15%.

• DIVD charges 0.49% a year.
• Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $50 in the first year and $616 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

More than half its assets were in foreign dividend payers, mostly European, as of July 31, 2026, so it could balance a portfolio built mainly on US stocks.

DIVD could add monthly income and exposure to value-priced foreign dividend stocks. Over the year to October 27, 2026, it paid $1.20 per share, a 2.67% yield on the share price. Dividends aren't guaranteed, and the fund generally drops companies that cut theirs.

Its history is short. It launched September 29, 2022, so it has no record through the 2008 or 2020 crashes or most of the 2022 bear market. Its weakest calendar year, 2024, still gained 2.75%. Its deepest drop, 13.9% from March 7 to April 8, 2025, was recovered by June 3. A longer slump could cut deeper, and someone needing money in a bad year might have to cash out shares at depressed prices. Costs are 0.49% a year: $616 over 10 years on $10,000 in the SEC's standard example. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should weigh the whole portfolio, not one fund.
