Over the past five years, three dividend-paying small-cap ETFs—WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Fund (DES), Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (SCHA), and iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR)—have outperformed the Russell 2000 ETF. DES led with a 37% return by focusing on companies that pay regular dividends, filtering out weaker firms. SCHA offers broad small-cap exposure with low cost, while IJR applies a profitability screen and has the lowest fees. These funds exclude many unprofitable small companies that weigh down the Russell 2000, providing better returns and modest dividend yields between 1.1% and 2.3%.
