Our read on CDC
BA dividend fund with a built-in seatbelt: the index weights high-yielding US large caps by volatility instead of size, and can shift part of the portfolio into cash after deep market declines.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, a U.S. large-cap high-dividend index that uses long/cash positioning and volatility weighting. It generally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in that index.
Why people hold it
- The long/cash rule is the hook. The index can move part of the portfolio to cash when the market falls hard, then rebuild equity exposure as it recovers. Rare in dividend land.
- Volatility weighting spreads roughly 100 dividend payers by how much each one swings, so the biggest names don't automatically get the biggest slots.
- Running since 2014 and pays monthly, a cadence most equity dividend funds don't offer.
- The portfolio itself is one of the sturdier builds in the dividend-screen group, and the fund sits in the upper half of that peer set overall.
Worth knowing
- At 0.38% it's right around the middle of dividend screens, but plain-vanilla rivals like SCHD (0.06%) and VIG (0.04%) cost a fraction. The rules aren't free.
- Thinly traded next to the mega dividend funds, so spreads can run wider and size matters when you're placing an order.
- The cash switch is reactive by design: it responds to declines that already happened rather than anticipating them.
