Regarding earnings and growth, the stocks selected for this ETF are chosen based on their high dividend yield, not necessarily on their earnings or growth potential. This ETF is designed for income-seeking investors, rather than those looking for capital appreciation. However, the underlying holdings do have varying levels of earnings and growth prospects, and an investor who is interested specifically in these metrics would need to research the individual holdings.

Please note that investing in the stock market always carries risk, and it's important to do thorough research and consider seeking advice from a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
