The bottom line on DIV
DIV is a high-yield, monthly-paying income ETF, not a dividend-growth or total-return fund. Its 6.69% yield is attractive for income seekers but reflects concentration in REITs, MLPs, and high-payout names whose prices can lag; it works as an income sleeve rather than a core growth holding.

FAQ
What is DIV?
+
DIV is the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF, launched in March 2013. It holds roughly 50 of the highest-dividend-yielding US securities that also pass a lower-volatility screen, spanning REITs, MLPs, and high-payout stocks. It is designed to deliver a high, steady stream of monthly income rather than capital growth.
What is DIV's ticker symbol?
+
DIV, listed on NYSE Arca. The full name is Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF, issued by Global X Funds, part of the Mirae Asset group. It tracks the INDXX SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index.
What is DIV's dividend yield?
+
Approximately 6.69% as of July 2026, paid monthly. The yield is high because the fund deliberately selects the highest-payout US securities. That level of yield typically comes from REITs, MLPs, and mature, slow-growth companies, and it can vary as constituents and their distributions change.
How often does DIV pay dividends?
+
Monthly. DIV is built for income seekers who want a regular payout stream, and monthly distributions are one of its main selling points. The exact per-share amount varies month to month with the underlying holdings' distributions.
What is DIV's expense ratio?
+
0.45% per year (45 basis points). On a $10,000 position that is about $45 per year, deducted from the fund's NAV. It is higher than a plain broad-market index fund but in line with specialized, rules-based income strategies.
What companies are in DIV?
+
As of July 2026 the top holdings include CBL & Associates Properties, Millicom International Cellular, Tsakos Energy Navigation, Alexander's, TFS Financial, Plains All American Pipeline, Altria, Copa Holdings, Westlake Chemical Partners, and CVR Partners. The fund is roughly equal-weighted across about 50 high-yield names, so no single position dominates.
DIV vs SCHD: what's the difference?
+
SCHD (Schwab US Dividend Equity) screens for quality dividend payers with a history of sustainable and growing dividends, at a very low fee, yielding around 3-4%. DIV chases the highest yields at roughly 6.69% and includes REITs and MLPs, accepting more concentration and less dividend growth. SCHD leans dividend-growth-and-quality; DIV leans maximum current income.
Is DIV a good investment?
+
DIV suits investors prioritizing high current income who accept that its price may lag a broad-market fund and that it concentrates in higher-yield, slower-growth sectors. It is less suited to those seeking total return or dividend growth. Walnut isn't an investment adviser; whether DIV fits depends on your income needs, tax situation, and overall allocation.
Is DIV's high yield sustainable?
+
A 6.69% yield reflects the fund's design of holding the highest-payout US securities, but high yields can signal elevated risk in individual holdings, and distributions can be cut if underlying companies reduce payouts. The low-volatility screen aims to temper this, but income from DIV is not guaranteed and can vary over time.
What is DIV's market cap (AUM)?
+
Approximately $746.96 million as of July 2026. It is a mid-sized specialized income ETF rather than a mega-fund, with assets that tend to track investor appetite for high-yield equity income.
When was DIV created?
+
DIV launched in March 2013. It was one of Global X's early entries in the high-income ETF space, part of the firm's SuperDividend family of funds that target the highest-yielding securities in various markets.
Does DIV hold REITs and MLPs?
+
Yes. A meaningful portion of DIV's holdings are real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships, which are structurally high-payout vehicles. This is part of why the yield is high, and it also introduces sector concentration and, in the case of MLPs, potential tax-reporting considerations.
How do I buy DIV?
+
DIV trades like any stock during US market hours and is available at major brokers including Robinhood, Fidelity, Schwab, Public, and M1. Fractional shares are supported at most modern brokers. Connect your broker to Walnut and the AI can help you see how a high-income sleeve like DIV fits alongside the rest of your holdings.
How do I compare DIV to similar ETFs?
+
Put a few fields side by side: the expense ratio (fees compound over decades), the index or strategy it tracks, the top holdings and how much they overlap with what you already own, the dividend yield, and the AUM, liquidity, and bid-ask spread that affect trading costs. For index funds, tracking error (how closely it follows its index) and tax efficiency matter too. DIV's figures are above; the full method is in Walnut's guide on how to compare ETFs.
