- VictoryShares International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF (CID) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the Nasdaq Victory International High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index before fees and expenses, providing exposure to high dividend-yielding stocks in international developed markets outside the U.S. The ETF selects the 100 highest dividend-yielding stocks from the Nasdaq Victory International 500 Volatility Weighted Index, which screens for profitability and market capitalization, then weights holdings inversely by volatility over the prior 180 trading days; the index reconstitutes semi-annually in March and September. Key sector exposures include financials (24.79%), energy (15.37%), utilities (13.64%), and communication services (12.84%), with top country weights in the United Kingdom (12.48%), France (11.31%), and Canada (11.18%); as of June 30, 2024, the fund held 102 positions with an average market cap of $43.8 billion, a P/E ratio of 11.7, a net expense ratio of 0.45%, and a 30-day SEC yield of 4.40% (subsidized). Victory Capital Management Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, issues the ETF, which launched on August 19, 2015, under the VictoryShares brand; Victory Capital, founded in 2013, operates globally with a focus on rules-based and active ETFs across equity, fixed income, and alternative strategies. In recent developments, Victory Capital expanded its VictoryShares lineup with launches including the Pioneer Asset-Based Income ETF (ABI), International Free Cash Flow ETF (IFLO), and International Free Cash Flow Growth ETF (GRIN) in June 2025, alongside two active ETFs (GLOW and BMDL) in June 2024, growing the platform to over 27 ETFs and approximately $8 billion in assets as of mid-2024; the firm also announced plans to liquidate certain underperforming VictoryShares ETFs such as BMDL and others by February 2026, added three new UCITS funds via its Amundi partnership in December 2025 to reach 22 UCITS offerings, and completed a strategic transaction with Amundi closing April 1, 2025. The ETF targets investors seeking diversified international value exposure with a volatility-weighted approach as an alternative to traditional market-cap indexing, amid Victory Capital's ongoing product innovation and global expansion.
