Pacific Global US Equity Income ETF (USDY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks income and long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. large-capitalization companies with above-average dividend yields, strong balance sheets, predictable earnings, cash flow growth, and histories of dividend increases; it invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies paying regular dividends, including REITs. The fund employs a systematic approach combining fundamental analysis and quantitative metrics to select high-quality dividend-paying stocks across diversified sectors such as industrials, consumer staples, manufacturing, and real estate, with top holdings including United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS), QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM), Procter & Gamble Co. (PG), Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), and Amgen Inc. (AMGN). It targets income-oriented investors seeking competitive yields, tax efficiency, and exposure to resilient U.S. equities amid market volatility, inflation, and interest rate fluctuations, with a net expense ratio of 0.29% and assets under management around $30 million.
Sponsored by Pacific Global ETF Trust and managed by Pacific Global Asset Management with sub-adviser Cadence Capital Management, USDY was launched on February 12, 2019, and trades on NYSE Arca.
