Aristotle Files Dividend ETF Focused on Sustainable Income Growth

Aristotle has filed for the Aristotle Dividend Equity ETF, an actively managed fund that will invest at least 80% of assets in dividend-paying equities. The strategy will use bottom-up fundamental analysis to target companies with durable competitive positions, disciplined capital allocation, financial strength and the ability to maintain or grow dividends over time. The sub-adviser will seek a five-year normalized yield on cost above the Russell 1000 Value Index, although the portfolio will not be constrained by the benchmark. The fund will typically invest in companies above $2 billion in market capitalization and may allocate up to 20% to other income-producing securities, including REITs, preferred stocks and international securities.
