Our read on EASY

ETF.net Research

In short

DDividend growth with a bouncer at the door: the manager wants a long record of rising payouts plus businesses it judges recession resistant, then holds them in a concentrated, non-diversified book.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation to generate total return.

Why people hold it

  • Two screens, not one: a strong record of rising long-term dividends, plus businesses the adviser judges recession resistant (inelastic demand, recurring revenue, switching costs).sec.gov
  • Cash arrives monthly, and the mandate keeps at least 80% of net assets in companies with a strong long-term record of increasing dividends.sec.gov
  • The fee is contractually capped: 0.85% net of a waiver through December 1, 2026, against a 0.88% gross expense ratio.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  • At 0.85% net of a waiver through December 1, 2026 (0.88% gross), it prices above the category median; cheaper peers include VUS at 0.25% and CGDV at 0.33%, neither waived.
  • Non-diversified by design, so one or two large positions can move the fund more than they would a broad dividend index.sec.gov
  • It launched in 2025, so the record is short, and it trades lightly next to the category's largest funds; the adviser may also recoup waived fees within three years.sec.gov
