April 12, 2021 Dividend growth is once again on an impressive trajectory. That’s the good news, but it also means advisors should be selective with their payout growth strategies. The VictoryShares Dividend Accelerator ETF (VSDA) is one way of embracing a higher level of dividend selectivity. VSDA launched in April 2017 and follows the Nasdaq Victory Dividend Accelerator Index (NQVDIV), which Victory Capital developed in partnership with Nasdaq. What makes VSDA unique is that it focuses on more than a company’s previous dividend track record. “The Nasdaq Victory Dividend Accelerator Index seeks to create a diversified portfolio of securities which are forecasted to grow dividends. The Index selects 75 securities from the Nasdaq US Large Mid Cap Index based on factors such as dividend growth, liquidity and other financial metrics,” according to Nasdaq.
