Our read on FDVV
AFidelity built its own high-dividend index instead of licensing someone else's, then priced it at 0.15%. About 120 yield-screened stocks, cash out quarterly, in a multi-billion-dollar package.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Fidelity High Dividend Index. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in that index or depositary receipts representing those securities.
Why people hold it
- 0.15% a year against a 0.39% median for dividend-screen funds. Less of the dividend leaks out on the way to you.
- Rules, not hunches: it tracks the Fidelity High Dividend Index and normally keeps at least 80% of assets in that index's names.institutional.fidelity.com
- A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so the spread is rarely the story when you buy or sell.
- Pays quarterly and sits among the stronger builds in a crowded field of US dividend screens.
Worth knowing
- Cheaper doors into dividends exist: VIG at 0.04% and SCHD at 0.06%. The extra basis points here buy Fidelity's own screen, not a broader menu.
- A yield screen trims the market to roughly 120 stocks, so sector and single-name weights run heavier than in a total-market fund.
- The quarterly check follows what the holdings actually pay. This fund tracks an index; it does not target an income level.
