MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cambria Investment Management, an independent, privately owned investment advisory firm and ETF provider focused on quantitative asset management and alternative investments, today announced the launch the Cambria Large Cap Shareholder Yield ETF (LYLD).
“The Cambria Large Cap Shareholder Yield ETF invests in large cap U.S. stocks, applying the same systematic, quantitative methodology as the rest of Cambria’s shareholder yield lineup,” said Meb Faber, co-founder and CIO of Cambria. “LYLD ranks stocks by dividend yield, net share buybacks, and net debt paydown, along with value and quality factors. Its direct large cap exposure with an emphasis on shareholder yield offers a unique value proposition to investors looking for both yield and value exposure.”
LYLD’s universe consists of U.S.-based companies with a market capitalization of at least $10 billion. The ETF systematically invests in high-cash distribution companies that are returning cash to investors through three attributes - dividends, buybacks, and debt paydown - collectively known as shareholder yield. The fund’s process also incorporates valuation and quality metrics.
Cambria Large Cap Shareholder Yield ETF (LYLD) is the 5th ETF in Cambria’s shareholder yield suite, joining Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (SYLD), Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF (FYLD), Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF (EYLD), and Cambria Micro and Small Cap Shareholder Yield ETF (MYLD).
“LYLD is an ETF that we feel offers a lot of value to investors by bringing Cambria’s unique, systematic shareholder yield methodology to the large cap space,” added Faber. “This ETF caters to a range of investor needs: those seeking a differentiated approach to large-cap US equities, those prioritizing a holistic yield strategy, and those aiming to avoid the priciest segments of the broad market. For investors seeking all three, this single, cost-effective ETF provides a comprehensive solution.”
Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (SYLD), Cambria’s first shareholder yield ETF, was ranked by Morningstar as #1 out of 318 funds on an absolute, total return basis in Morningstar’s Mid-Cap Value Category over the time period since its inception (5/14/2013) as of 6/30/2024.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high risk investments. The underlying holdings of the fund may be leveraged, which will expose the holdings to higher volatility and may accelerate the impact of any losses. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund’s performance. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Narrowly focused funds typically exhibit higher volatility.
The Fund is managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
There is no guarantee dividends will be paid. Diversification may not protect against market loss.
There are special risks associated with margin investing. As with stocks, you may be called upon to deposit additional cash or securities if your account equity declines.
