Eventide Celebrates the One-Year Anniversary of Eventide High Dividend ETF (NYSE Arca: ELCV)
BOSTON, MA. (October 14, 2025) – Eventide Asset Management, LLC, celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Eventide High Dividend ETF (ELCV), the firm’s inaugural ETF. This is the first of many as Eventide seeks to diversify beyond traditional mutual funds and provide additional investment vehicles that meet investor demand and maximize tax efficiency. ELCV focuses on what Eventide views as high-quality, high-dividend-yielding mid- and large-cap companies that align with Eventide’s mission of “investing that makes the world rejoice®.”
Eventide’s High Dividend ETF is thoughtfully curated to pursue robust and growing dividends through a high-conviction portfolio of quality, high-dividend-paying companies across various sectors. ELCV’s benchmark is the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Total Return Index (“Index”).1 The Fund offers investors exposure to companies that not only generate income, but also companies that Eventide believes will positively contribute to society.
ELCV leverages Eventide’s unique investment ethos and due diligence process to identify companies that are resilient, high-quality, and dedicated to value creation. In comparison, nearly three-quarters of the Index partially profits from an ethically questionable source, whether it be addiction, the destruction of life, or another form of human harm.2
Expanding Options for Faith-Based Investors
In the one year since the inception of ELCV, Eventide has launched four additional ETFs. These are all part of the company’s systematic ETF line. Eventide’s ETFs, both systematic and traditional active, are equipped with Business 360®. This is Eventide’s proprietary framework for evaluating both a company’s long-term competitive advantage and its impact on human flourishing through a comprehensive evaluation of the intangible qualities of a business. This includes evaluating products the business offers as well as their business practices. It is a holistic, 360-degree assessment of the company’s value creation and value extraction.
ELCV is managed by Dolores Bamford, who brings over 30 years of industry experience and a passion for faith-based investing. The ELCV strategy is built on high-conviction principles that identify resilient companies capable of delivering consistent returns through market cycles. This is distinct from Eventide’s Dividend Growth Strategy, also managed by Mrs. Bamford, which focuses on dividend growth rather than dividend yield.
