I'm using the Wisdomtree ETF, DGS. Reasonable yield while we await the next emerging markets wave.

They have similar patterns but different amplitudes.

They both have similar yields and annual expense ratios. Both are populated with small cap holdings but DGS has a slightly deeper value tilt.

With a decent dividend, one can wait out long down-cycles like occurred from 2014 thru the beginning of 2016. That opportunity to get to 100% invested helped average cost/share and gave AIM a chance to catch up with Buy/Hold and actually exceed it slightly.

There's not been a lot of frequency of price direction change but the overall amplitude has been good for trading around the core holding.
