- Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF (DIVS) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in publicly traded equity securities of dividend-paying companies demonstrating the potential for consistent, real dividend growth over the medium term of three to five years. The fund employs fundamental analysis to select holdings based on criteria including moderate dividend yields, histories of increasing dividends, low debt levels, low payout ratios, and sustained returns on capital exceeding 10% over the past decade; it typically holds 25 to 75 equally weighted stocks across global markets, with top holdings including Broadcom Inc., Microsoft Corp., Danone SA, ABB Ltd., and Deutsche Boerse AG as of mid-2025. The portfolio emphasizes large-cap global equities in sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and consumer staples, targeting companies with strong cash flow generation and dividend sustainability for institutional and retail investors seeking income-oriented exposure. Guinness Atkinson Funds, the registrant and sponsor, traces its origins to 1993 as the U.S. arm of Guinness Flight Global Asset Management and operates from its headquarters at 251 South Lake Avenue, Suite 800, Pasadena, California. The Dividend Builder ETF, originally launched as a mutual fund strategy (GAINX) on March 30, 2012, underwent a structural conversion to ETF format in 2021 alongside another Guinness Atkinson fund, enhancing its accessibility and liquidity on the NYSE Arca exchange under the SmartETFs branding. No major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or operational reorganizations have been reported for the fund or its sponsor in the last 1-2 years; it maintains quarterly dividend distributions with a trailing twelve-month yield of approximately 2.67% and an expense ratio of 0.66% as of late 2025. The ETF's assets under management stand at around $41 million, with geographic exposure spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.
