Our read on CDL
BCDL sizes its positions by volatility instead of company size: roughly 100 high-yielding US large caps, with the calmer names getting the wider berth. Income lands monthly.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the CEMP US Large Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index before fees and expenses. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in stocks included in that index.
Why people hold it
- The index screens US large caps for high dividends, then weights the survivors by volatility, so a stock's slot is set by how it trades, not how big it is.
- Pays monthly, a smoother cadence than the calendar most equity income portfolios run on.
- Running since 2015 and still doing the advertised job: at least 80% of net assets in its index's names, tracked closely.
- Lands in the upper half of a crowded dividend-screen field, with the underlying basket among its stronger features.
Worth knowing
- The 0.39% fee sits right at the peer median, but big index-tracking rivals like SCHD (0.06%), VIG (0.04%) and DGRO (0.08%) run at a fraction of it.
- Thinly traded for the category, so spreads can be wider at the moment you place an order.
- A yield screen plus volatility weighting builds a portfolio that looks little like a cap-weighted index, so it moves on its own schedule.
