Our read on BAMD

ETF.net Research

In short

DAn advisor shop's hand-built dividend sleeve: Brookstone screens US payers, holds roughly 70 positions and can bolt on outside ETFs, charging 0.87% for the work. Live since 2023, it's one of eight Brookstone building-block funds.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to provide income together with capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • Real stock picking, not an index rebuild: the adviser screens $1B-plus US companies on dividend history and ability to keep paying, using outside and in-house research.sec.gov
  • The mandate allows unaffiliated ETFs alongside individual names, so the manager can top up income exposure without you buying a second fund.sec.gov
  • Income arrives on a quarterly schedule, and the book stays focused at roughly 70 positions instead of spread thin across hundreds.
  • One of eight Brookstone ETFs built as model-portfolio blocks, so the dividend piece is designed to sit beside the shop's growth, value and bond funds.brookstonecm.comsec.gov

Worth knowing

  • At 0.87% with no fee waiver, it costs more than the typical fund in its dividend-income category, and far more than peers like VUS (0.25%) or CGDV (0.33%).
  • Thinly traded, so limit orders matter more here than with the category's household names.
  • It lands in the lower tier of its dividend-income peer group, and being active means there is no index to check the portfolio against.
