Our read on DON
In short
BMost dividend funds read like a mega-cap roll call. DON deletes the 300 largest payers first, then weights what's left by the dollars of dividends each company is projected to pay. Mid-cap income, run the same way since 2006.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance of dividend-paying mid-capitalization companies in the U.S. equity market. It uses passive indexing and generally invests in Index constituents or economically similar investments.
