Quality Dividends, Value Mindset
XXXXXXXXX
The Keeley Dividend ETF (KDVD) is an actively managed, fully transparent ETF seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing primarily in dividend-paying U.S. equities. The strategy focuses on small- and mid-cap companies: an underutilized and often overlooked segment of the market that historically offers higher yields, lower valuations, and stronger domestic growth exposure.
KDVD invests across the full dividend spectrum, from companies with modest payouts and high reinvestment opportunities to steady growers and established high yielders. Guided by Gabelli’s research-driven investment philosophy and supported by a team of 50+ sector specialists, the portfolio focuses on fundamentals, cash-flow durability, and the sustainability of each company’s dividend.

A Distinctive Approach to Dividends:
KDVD invests in small- and mid-cap dividend payers: a part of the market that is both overlooked and historically more attractively valued. Most dividend ETFs concentrate in large caps or follow rigid, rules based index screens while KDVD brings a fully transparent, actively managed approach designed to complement existing dividend allocations.
Flexibility Across the Dividend Spectrum:
Rather than focusing solely on high yield or pure dividend growth, KDVD evaluates companies across four dividend profiles: Attractive, Solid-Steady, Growers, and High-Yield. This flexibility helps the portfolio source income, capture dividend growth, and lean into valuation opportunities as market conditions shift.
