CSB vs. XSLV ETF Comparison

Comparison of Compass EMP US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ETF (CSB) to PowerShares S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio (XSLV)

CSB

Compass EMP US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ETF

CSB Description

CSB's take on the US small-cap space mirrors that of its large-cap sibling, CDL. To qualify for this fund, a company must be among the 500 largest US companies under 3 billion USD in market cap and must have positive earnings for the four most recent quarters. The index selects the 100 highest dividend-yielding stocks from this group and weights them by inverse volatility, giving overweight to low-vol stocks. The index applies 20% country cap and 25% sector cap with semi-annual reconstitution starting each March. The funds closest peers are sibling funds: CSA, which has the same exposure but without the dividend yield screen, and CSF with a cash toggle feature during downturns.
