CSB's idea is to amalgamate high-yield dividend-paying U.S. small-cap stocks, placing more weight on those with stronger low-volatility characteristics. CSB has delivered some healthy returns since its inception, beating a few of its counterparts. But the fairly perplexing issue is that its value- and low-volatility-centered strategy was incapable of effectively minimizing losses during the 2022 bear market as it was down double digits.

VettaFi's vice chairman Tom Lydon discussed the VictoryShares US Small Cap High Dividend Volatility Wtd ETF (CSB) on this week's “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe of “Money Life.” For more news, information, and analysis, visit VettaFi | ETF Trends.

CSB is a volatility-weighted small-cap ETF that yields 3.30%. Its long-term performance is solid compared to peers, but weak fundamentals led to disappointing returns last year. CSB overweights Consumer Discretionary stocks, an odd feature for a portfolio that's designed to lessen risk. It's one clue that CSB isn't the best way to play defense.

This article summarizes the performance of the entire U.S. equity market by examining 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y returns for 850+ ETFs across 40 categories. Major indices declined, but investing in Energy, High-Dividend, and Large-Cap Value ETFs softened the blow. Meanwhile, searching for the bottom in mega-cap growth and thematic ETFs didn't work.

CSB holds 100 low-volatile small-cap value stocks. I've estimated its yield to be 2.85% net of fees, and it's outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index since its inception. Regional Banks make up the fund's largest exposure area, accounting for nearly 20% of the ETF. Usually, this industry is very volatile, but quality appears sacrificed for the lower risk.

CSB: Deserves More Attention

Small cap equities are hot and dividend stocks are on the comeback trail. Investors can tap into both themes with the VictoryShares U.S. Small Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted Index ETF (CSB).
