The ETF.net DVDN Grade
Score 39 of 100 sits in the D band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on DVDN
DA boutique, genuinely active take on dividend investing: at least 80% of assets in companies that paid a dividend last year, run through a value-leaning, multi-stage selection process. Small, young (2023), and priced at 0.90%.
The Fund seeks its objective by investing at least 80% of its assets, under normal conditions, in companies that paid a dividend during the preceding year.
Why people hold it
- Stock-picked, not screen-picked: a multi-stage, value-leaning process chooses the names, with at least 80% of assets in companies that paid a dividend in the prior year.
- Straightforward plumbing: a 1940 Act US equity fund that distributes quarterly, with income sourced from the dividend payers it owns rather than an options overlay.
- The mandate is deliberately wide: any US dividend payer qualifies, so managers can tilt toward value without being boxed in by a rigid yield or dividend-growth rulebook.
Worth knowing
- The 0.90% expense ratio runs well above the typical US dividend-income ETF, and above big active peers such as CGDV and TDVG.
- Small asset base and light trading: spreads can be wider than in mega-cap dividend funds, which makes limit orders and trade timing matter more.
- Launched in late 2023, so the record is short, and with no published index to track, results hinge on the managers' security selection.
