This would seem to be a great counterbalance for a portfolio that is concentrated on the BRIC. Most of the companies are very strong internationally and are therefore less affected by by the slow growth in the USA .Because they are based here they have lower volatility.

The general market has shown strength in equity returns the past year & has highlighted continued dollar weakness.

In general, the dividend ETFs have lagged partly due to the devaluation of the dollar.

At these higher price levels, I believe there will be downward pressure on equity prices &/or stronger dollar pressure. To have continued exposure to equities (or offset short positions) yet take advantage of short-midterm macro shift, I look to dividend ETFs.

I screened for dividend ETFs that have lagged the overall market, and eliminated dividend ETFs that either outperformed all the others in the above periods &/or eliminated ETFs that had too high exposure in the 3 primary sectors Information, Service, Manufacturing (according to morningstar). Also I ensured the remaining ETFs did not have higher than category avg weighting to Energy sector. These factors will inherently provide a defensive positioning in going long equities.

ETF that looks exactly like QQQQ and gives 1.8% yield. Interesting to follow.
