LVHI explicitly aims for what the issuer calls stable yield. The fund's use of technical and fundamental factors in search of dividend sustainability sets it apart from many competing funds which rely solely on the latter. LVHI considers the volatility of prices and earnings in addition to yield and positive earnings. The fund culls a relative handful of names from its broad parent index using this approach, and weights them in the same fashion, subject to constraints. Specifically, the funds REITs and country exposure is capped at 15%, while geographic exposure will not exceed 50%. Also, issuers are capped at 2.5%, and sectors are capped at 25%. Prior to June 22, 2022 the fund name was Legg Mason International Low Volatility High Dividend ETF. The name change was due to acquistion occuring in July of 2020.
