FYI: In an echo of real estate’s famed “location” mantra, investment advisors might well say that the three most important success factors are diversification, diversification and diversification.
Diversification among asset classes is crucial, but should you also look for diversification within individual subsets? Specifically, are more dividend payers better than fewer?
We looked at ETFs of domestic dividend payers to find those with the largest number of stocks. Among ETFs with at least $900 million in AUM, only four funds had 400 or more holdings.
