Our read on DGRW
BA dividend fund that judges the business, not just the payout: WisdomTree runs U.S. large caps through quality and growth screens before they qualify, then distributes monthly. Live since 2013.
The fund seeks to track dividend-paying U.S. large-cap companies with growth characteristics.
Why people hold it
- Quality and growth screens sit on top of the dividend requirement, so the index targets payers with growth characteristics instead of ranking companies by headline yield.wisdomtree.com
- Distributions land monthly, spread across roughly 300 U.S. large caps.
- A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, making it one of the easier names to get in and out of in its factor group.
- Running the same mandate since 2013, and it sits in the upper half of its U.S. factor peer group on our review.
Worth knowing
- The 0.28% fee is exactly the median of its factor cohort. Cheaper options exist (MGV at 0.05%, SIZE at 0.15%), though they hunt different factors.
- No dividend, no entry. Companies that reinvest every dollar instead of paying it out are screened away, whatever their growth.
- U.S. large caps only, so it walks much of the same ground a core S&P 500 fund already covers.
