Technology is everywhere. Drivers can fire up their air conditioning from across the lot on sultry days and wearers of watches can track blips in their heart rate. Technology is everywhere, that is, except for dividend-paying ETFs.
Many of the market’s most popular dividend-paying ETFs own very little of the tech sector, even though its stocks were the No. 1 contributor of dividends paid out by companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 in each of the past three years, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices. The exclusion of tech from big dividend ETFs becomes increasingly problematic given the sector’s warp-speed dividend growth rate, which is apt to continue: Tech’s contribution to S&P payouts has nearly tripled, to 15% from 5.6%, over the past eight years.
