DES: With Price Weakness, Is This 3% Yielding Small-Cap Dividend ... - Seeking Alpha

The WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:DES) features a 3.08% dividend yield, excellent diversification across 119 industries, and is one of only a handful of monthly dividend payers in the small-cap space. However, it's performed poorly since its inception in June 2006, something I attribute to persistently low quality despite the strategy's best efforts. In particular, DES's exposure to Regional Banks ballooned to 18% late last year, and that's a key reason for recent price weakness.
