ONEY: The Smart Beta ETF That Deserves More Attention

ONEY's smart beta approach offers diversified sector allocation, strong dividend yield, and reduced concentration risk compared to larger, more popular dividend ETFs. Despite lower AUM and investor awareness, ONEY's post-pandemic performance demonstrates its potential, especially during cyclical rallies and defensive market phases. Current macro conditions may limit ONEY's near-term outperformance, but its defensive tilt should cushion against economic slowdowns and rate headwinds.

ONEY Still Has A Factor Mix I Like

ONEY is an index-based fund focusing on U.S. dividend names with solid quality and meaningful yields. ONEY has underperformed the S&P 500 since the previous note, with exposure to financials being one of the likely reasons.
