WisdomTree Dividend ex-Financials Fund (NYSEArca: DTN)
Distribution Yield: 3.87%
Comment: With nearly $1.2 billion in assets under management, DTN is one of the largest ETFs on this list. As its name implies, DTN excludes the financial services sector from its lineup. Although that sector has rebound from the dark days of 2008 and has gotten back to dividend growth over the past several years, DTN has not been hindered by excluding bank stocks. Since the March 2009 market bottom, DTN has more than quadrupled, easily thumping the performances of the four largest dividend ETFs over the comparable period. [Some Strategic Beta ETFs Shine Bright]
