- Genter Capital Dividend Income ETF (GEND) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in domestic equity securities of companies with records of paying dividends. The fund primarily targets companies with market capitalizations of $2 billion or higher at the time of initial purchase, maintaining a diversified portfolio of 25 to 50 securities spread across multiple economic sectors; it employs a three-step investment process that screens for issuers with tax-advantaged dividend payments qualifying for capital gains tax rates, dividend growth per share, and investment-grade debt ratings, followed by fundamental analysis of valuation, balance sheet, and income statement metrics. Top holdings as of September 30, 2025, include Altria Group Inc. (4.42%), Enbridge Inc. (4.38%), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (4.33%), Northern Trust Corp. (4.30%), and Cisco Systems Inc. (4.07%), among others representing approximately 39% of the portfolio.
Launched on January 13, 2025, and listed on NYSE Arca, GEND is sub-advised by Genter Capital Management, LLC, a Los Angeles-based registered investment advisor founded in 1968 and headquartered at 11601 Wilshire Boulevard, Twenty-fifth Floor, Los Angeles, California 90025; the investment advisor is OBP Capital, LLC, with distribution handled by Capital Investment Group, Inc. The fund features a gross expense ratio of 0.38%, a 30-day SEC yield of 2.81%, a dividend yield of 3.30%, and assets under management of approximately $2.83 million as of September 30, 2025. It caters to income-oriented investors seeking tax-efficient domestic large-cap value exposure, benchmarked primarily against the S&P 500 Index and secondarily against the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF.
In January 2025, contemporaneous with GEND's launch, Genter Capital Management introduced a companion product, the Genter Capital International Dividend ETF (GENW), expanding its ETF suite to four actively managed funds focused on dividend strategies across domestic and international markets. In December 2025, Genter Capital Management expanded its partnership with SMArtX Advisory Solutions by adding new strategies to the platform, enhancing distribution channels for its offerings including GEND. The fund continues to emphasize a covered call options overlay on portfolio holdings to supplement income generation.
