Investment Approach

Why Invest in the AB US High Dividend ETF?

  • Potential to Generate Higher Dividend Income with Core Equity Exposure
    The AB High Dividend ETF (HIDV) seeks to deliver substantially more yield than the S&P 500 targeting a minimum 200 basis points or more advantage—while maintaining a beta of one, aiming to provide both high dividend income and long-term capital growth.
  • Leverage a Systematic, High-Conviction Dividend Process
    The strategy screens the full Russell 1000 universe daily using proprietary signals including dividend yield, value, momentum and quality to identify high-dividend opportunities that can outperform traditional dividend index funds.
  • Invest Beyond Traditional High-Dividend Stocks
    Unlike many high-dividend ETFs constrained to only dividend payers, HIDV can invest in non-dividend-paying companies when they add quality or improve beta alignment. This flexibility supports better risk balance and participation in growth-led markets.
  • Capture Yield Without Sacrificing Market Participation
    A sector-neutral approach to the S&P 500 helps avoid the concentration risk common in high-dividend strategies while maintaining market-like participation and return potential.
  • Adapt Quickly to Market Conditions
    HIDV reviews signals daily and can rebalance as frequently as needed, far more dynamically than passive dividend index funds, which helps the Portfolio react to evolving fundamentals, avoid deteriorating companies, and capture new opportunities.
  • Replace or Complement Existing Dividend ETFs
    HIDV can serve as a high-yielding replacement for dividend index funds or complement them with a more diversified, risk-aware, and actively managed dividend income solution.

AB US High Dividend ETF (HIDV) FAQs

Risks To Consider

  • Investing in ETFs involves risk and there is no guarantee of principal.

    Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing. For copies of our prospectus or summary prospectus, which contain this and other information, visit our Literature Center or contact your AB representative. Please read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

    Shares of the ETF may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price on the exchange on which they are listed. The market price of an ETF's shares may be at, above or below the ETF’s net asset value ("NAV") and will fluctuate with changes in the NAV as well as supply and demand in the market for the shares. Shares of the ETF may only be redeemed directly with the ETF at NAV by Authorized Participants, in very large creation units. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling the Fund’s shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.
     

  • Active Trading Risk: The Fund expects to engage in active and frequent trading, which will increase the portfolio turnover rate. A higher portfolio turnover increases transaction costs and may negatively affect the Fund’s return.

  • Dividend Paying Securities Risk: The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There can be no assurance that dividends will be declared or paid on securities held by the Fund in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. 

  • Equity Securities Risk: The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events.

  • Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may involve more risk than those of U.S. issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be more difficult to trade than domestic securities due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, or other factors.

  • Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund is a "non-diversified" investment company, which means that the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in fewer companies than a diversified investment company. This increases the risks of investing in the Fund since the performance of each stock has a greater impact on the Fund's performance. To the extent that the Fund invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in securities of a limited number of companies, the Fund may also be more susceptible than a diversified investment company to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence.

  • New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision.
