  • Here are two ETFs primarily investing in emerging markets and small-cap financial dividend stocks.

The pros of investing in a dividend ETF:

  • Lower volatility
  • Investment strategies that meet your goals and needs.

The cons? The average market price returns and net asset value returns are typically low as the volatility in these stocks is not as high.
