Aktsiatesse investeerimise strateegiaid on palju ja erinevaid. Teatud osale investoritest meeldib keskenduda stabiilsematele ja juba teada-tuntud suurettevõtetele samas kui teised panustavad kõrgema kasvupotentsiaaliga ent mõnevõrra riskantsematele väike-ettevõtetele. Osa investoritest peab lugu väärtusinvesteerimisest, teisi kõnetab hoopis kasvuettevõtetesse raha paigutamine. Mõnede jaoks on hoopis väga oluline, et rahapaigutus teeniks saadavate dividendide näol ka passiivset tulu. Just sellistesse aktsiatesse raha paigutavatele ETFide käesolev e-raamat keskendubki. Vaatluse all on nii kõrget dividendimäära püüdma minevad ETFid kui ka ainult aastaid regulaarselt dividendimakseid kasvatanud ettevõtteid kaasavad ETFid. Käsiraamatust leiab nii globaalse ulatusega, regionaalse fookusega kui ka ühe riigi dividendiaktsiatele keskendunud ETFe. Valikus on nii Euroopa, USA kui ka teiste riikide börsidel kauplevad dividendifookusega ETFid. Käsiraamatu esimeses peatükis on vaatluse all rida põhjuseid, miks üldse kaaluda dividendiaktsiatesse investeerimise strateegiat. Teine peatükk keskendub dividendifookusega ETFide valimisel tõusetuvatele olulistele aspektidele. Teisisõnu saab vastuse küsimus– mida pidada silmas dividendifookusega ETFi valimisel? Käsiraamatu järgnevad peatükid on jaotatud vastavalt ETFide registreerimise (ja noteerimise) riigile. Iga ETFi kohta on välja toodud tema peamised karakteristikud muuhulgas varade maht, kauplemissümbol, börsid, kus ETF on noteeritud, ETFi kulukuse määr, registreerimise riik ja palju muud. Raamat koondab rohkem kui 100 leheküljele kõik Euroopas ja USAs registreeritud dividendifookusega ETFid, mille varade maht on vähemalt 100 miljoni euro/dollari piirimail ehk kokku 95 erinevat ETFi. NB! Selle e-raamatu versiooniga tuleb kaasa kõiki raamatus käsitletud ETFe koondav Google Spreadsheet andmebaas. Kõnealuses andmebaasis/koondtabelis on võimalik kõiki kirjeldatud ETFe sorteerida, võrrelda ja kõrvutada muuhulgas näiteks ETFi registreerimise riigi, fondi baasvaluuta, kulukuse määra, dividendimaksete sageduse, investeeringute universumi (globaalne, regionaalne, riiklik), investeerimisstrateegia (kõrge dividendimääraga ettevõtted, dividendikasvu ettevõtted, dividende maksvad ettevõtted) ja ka erinevat ajahorisonti hõlmavate kogutootluste alusel (1, 3, 5 ja 10 aasta tootlused).
