Our read on DTD
AA 2006 original that skips the usual filters: no high-yield hunt, no dividend-growth streak test. DTD holds roughly 800 US dividend payers, from mega caps down to small, and reshuffles once a year.
The Fund uses a passive indexing approach intended to track the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree U.S. Total Dividend Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Owns the broad dividend-paying US market in one ticket, roughly 800 names across the cap range, not a narrow high-yield slice.wisdomtree.comsec.gov
- Charges 0.28% a year, under the typical US dividend-screen fund, and sits in the upper tier of that large peer group.
- Pays monthly and has been running since 2006, through several full market cycles, tracking its index closely.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to category giants like SCHD and VIG, so spreads can run wider, which bites most on large or rushed orders.
- Cheap for the category, but SCHD, VIG and DGRO each charge a fraction of 0.28%.
- The index adds names only at its annual December rebalance, so the lineup can trail changes in who pays what.sec.govsec.gov
