DHS holds a comprehensive portfolio that plays well in the US high-dividend yield segment. The fund has a mild growth bias and carries a souped-up dividend yield. Because the fund's underlying index only requires a company to have paid a dividend over the past 12 months, it casts a wider net, including many new dividend payers that other funds screen-out. That may explain its slight growth bias and strong large-cap allocation despite its dividend-weighting. DHS somewhat overweights energy and telecoms at the expense of tech and healthcare, and carries a slight midcap tilt. Still, DHS is a broad and diverse example of a dividend-seeking fund. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced annually.
