Our read on FDIV
BMost dividend funds hand you hundreds of names and an annual reshuffle. FDIV runs a quant screen down to 60 to 80 U.S. dividend payers and rebuilds that short list every month, for 0.35% a year.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation and a higher dividend yield than a broad U.S. large-cap dividend-stock index. It invests at least 80% of assets in U.S. dividend-paying companies selected through a quantitative rules-based process.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.35% a year, below the roughly 0.55% typical for active U.S. dividend-income funds and under strong peers like TDVG (0.50%) and BGIG (0.45%).marketdeskindices.com
- The screen asks for two things at once: an above-average dividend yield and a price below what the sub-adviser reads as fair value. Income without ignoring appreciation.3941881.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
- Rebalanced monthly, so the book refreshes on a set cadence instead of drifting between yearly index reviews. Dividend history over a five-year window feeds the screen.marketdeskindices.com3941881.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
- Pays quarterly, keeps at least 80% of assets in U.S. dividend payers, and stands in the upper tier of its active dividend-income peer group.
Worth knowing
- Non-diversified by design. With 60 to 80 names, one stock or sector swings the fund far more than it would in a several-hundred-stock dividend index.marketdeskindices.com3941881.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
- A smaller, thinly traded fund, so spreads can be wider than in the mega-cap dividend giants and large orders need more care.
- The model does the picking. The prospectus flags quantitative selection and periodic reallocation risk, and monthly reshuffling means real turnover.marketdeskindices.com3941881.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net
