About this ETF
CTIF seeks current income and capital appreciation opportunities by investing in companies that have a 10-year history of growing their dividend. The portfolio is composed of an equity and an options sleeve. The equity sleeve uses a rules-based quantitative screening process that evaluates various factors, such as financial leverage, earnings, free cash flows, payout ratios, and industry leadership. It selects up to 50 stocks with financial strength that demonstrate growth in free cash flows, earnings, and dividends. The fund also considers a companys management and its ability to allocate capital. The options sleeve involves selling covered call options on up to 20% of the equity holdings, if considered advantageous. If options are written, the portfolio manager aims to write out-of-the-money, short-term contracts as a possible way to increase income. As an actively managed ETF, the fund has full discretion to adjust the portfolio at any time.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
