- Reality Shares presented with New ETF Issuer of the Year Award by ETF.com for the successful launch of Reality Shares DIVS ETF (Ticker: "DIVY").
- DIVY seeks to deliver a new asset class to the investment community by isolating dividend growth from stock price.
- Isolated Dividend Growth is a strategy that captures the growth of expected dividends without stock price exposure, and seeks to deliver returns that produce long-term capital appreciation.
SAN DIEGO, March 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Reality Shares today announced that it has been selected as the "New ETF Issuer of the Year-2014" by ETF.com for the launch of DIVY. Reality Shares' DIVY has created a new way for investors to approach dividend investing by seeking to capture capital gains on dividend growth rather than a source of income. Dividends are one measure of the real underlying value of a company and, over the previous 10 years, dividend growth has had investment returns at levels comparable to equities but with less volatility.
Reality Shares Co-Founder and CEO Eric Ervin accepted the award on behalf of the company last night at the annual ETF.com Awards Dinner, held at Chelsea Piers in New York City. For more information about the ETF.com Awards, please go to: http://www.etf.com/awards-dinner/index.html
"We're honored to be recognized as New ETF Issuer of the Year by ETF.com and believe that our approach to dividend growth investing is disrupting the way investors and the advisor community view dividends," said Eric Ervin. "This award reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering investment products that allow investors to achieve better outcomes based on true fundamentals without the noise and market machinations that can distort valuations."
Reality Shares brought DIVY, a first-of-its-kind ETF, to market in December 2014, and it has already attracted more than $13 million in assets under management.
