Exchange Traded Concepts and Viking Fund Management Launch DIVH, an Actively Managed ETF Built Around Decades of Dividend Growth

Integrity Dividend Harvest ETF (NYSE Arca: DIVH) targets companies with a decade or more of consistent dividend increases, pairing income discipline with a long-term approach to capital appreciation.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC ("ETC") today announced, in conjunction with Viking Fund Management, LLC, the launch of the Integrity Dividend Harvest ETF (NYSE Arca: DIVH), an actively managed fund that seeks out companies with a long, proven record of raising their dividends.

DIVH invests in companies with a sustained record of raising their dividends year after year -- a pattern long-time income investors have used as one signal of underlying financial discipline. The Fund is anchored in large, established companies but is not restricted to them, with the latitude to invest across market capitalizations and in foreign equities, including depositary receipts. The strategy is built around high current income today, with long-term appreciation as a secondary objective.

"Income investors have too often had to choose between a high current yield and a company's ability to keep growing that dividend over time," says Garrett Stevens, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Exchange Traded Concepts. "DIVH is built on the idea that a long track record of dividend increases is itself a signal of financial discipline. We're proud to bring Viking Fund Management's experience in this space to investors through the ETF structure."

"A company doesn't raise its dividend for ten straight years by accident -- it takes a durable business, a strong balance sheet, and a management team that treats shareholders as partners," says Shannon D. Radke, President and Senior Portfolio Manager at Viking Fund Management. "DIVH starts with that discipline as a screen, and then layers in dividend growth rate, earnings growth, valuation, credit quality, and balance sheet strength to build a portfolio designed to pursue current income, alongside the potential for long-term appreciation."

The Fund's process rests on a few consistent pillars: a long-term dividend growth requirement, a multi-factor selection process weighing yield, growth rate, valuation and balance sheet strength, a core orientation toward large, established companies with the flexibility to look further down the market-cap spectrum, and the ability to look abroad for additional diversification.
