Our read on DON
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.
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.
Why people hold it
- The index removes the 300 largest U.S. dividend payers before building, so DON holds mid-cap names that mega-cap-heavy dividend funds mostly skip.wisdomtree.comsec.gov
- Weights come from projected cash dividends, not market cap, and any one sector is capped at 25% on the annual screening date.sec.gov
- Plain passive indexing: roughly 300 holdings, tracking that has stayed close to its index, and cash out the door monthly.
- Live since 2006 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so the strategy has a long paper trail rather than a launch-week backtest.
Worth knowing
- The 0.38% fee matches the median for dividend-screen funds but runs well above large-cap staples like VIG (0.04%) and SCHD (0.06%).
- Mid-cap payers tend to move more than mega-cap stalwarts, and risk is the softest part of this fund's profile inside its dividend peer group.
- The fund is classified as non-diversified, and sector weights can drift above that 25% cap between annual screenings.sec.gov
