Outlook remains positive for long-term investors seeking dividend growth and capital appreciation, with the ETF averaging 10% annual returns since inception. Key risks include slower dividend growth rates and exclusion of high-yield stocks by design. The fund's quality focus provides defensive characteristics during market volatility.
