Why I Invest in OUSA?
“OUSA, one of the best dividend strategies I’ve ever seen. Just check the performance and the portfolio. It has stocks with strong profits, strong balance sheets, and strong dividend growth. OUSA also has no energy stocks or REITs, which I’m happy not to own in this economy. Instead, OUSA has the stocks I want as we go through these tough times,” said Kevin O’Leary, Chairman of O’Shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P., data as of 10/31/2020. Returns for periods longer than 1 year are annualized. The OUSA Target Index performance information reflects the blended performance of the FTSE USA Qual/Vol/Yield Factor 5% Capped Index through May 31, 2020 and the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend Index thereafter. The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the O’Shares U.S. Quality Dividend Index.
Definitions:
The 30-day SEC Yield: is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share and includes the effect of any fee waivers. Without waivers, yields would be reduced. A fund’s actual distribution rate will differ from the SEC yield and any income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than the SEC yield.
Leverage: An investment strategy of using borrowed money —specifically, the use of various financial instruments or borrowed capital—to increase the potential return of an investment.
Portfolio Yield: Weighted average dividend yield of the underlying constituents. Dividend Yield: The most recently announced gross dividend, annualized based on dividend frequency, then divided by the current market price.
ROA (Return on Assets): Indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its Total assets, in percentage. Calculated as (Trailing 12M Net Income/ Average Total Assets) x 100.
Value: Represented by Russell 1000 Value Index. Measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Volatility: Annualized standard deviation of the relative price change for the 260 most recent trading days closing price, expressed as a percentage. The higher the volatility, the riskier the security.
