Our read on FRIZ
CFranklin's dividend-growth entry, run by stock pickers, chases companies that keep raising payouts while aiming at long-term capital appreciation rather than a fat yield. It launched in 2025 priced under the typical active dividend fund.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Normally, it invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-growth companies with consistent or increasing dividends, or potential for future dividend increases.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.49% a year, below the 0.55% median for active dividend funds in its group and a shade under T. Rowe Price's TDVG at 0.50%.
- The mandate is on paper, not vibes: at least 80% of net assets in companies with consistent or rising dividends, or the potential to start raising them.
- Total-return framing. The stated goal is long-term capital appreciation, so dividend growth is the screen rather than a yield target, with cash paid out quarterly.
- What it owns lines up closely with what the prospectus describes, one of the tighter mandate-to-portfolio fits among active dividend funds.
Worth knowing
- It opened in August 2025, so there is no long record to lean on and the risk picture rests on a short window.
- A small, lightly traded fund so far, which can mean wider spreads than the category's household names. Limit orders are the standard tool for that.
- Crowded shelf: cheaper, longer-running rivals like CGDV (0.33%) and HIDV (0.35%) already sit here, and FRIZ lands in the lower half of the peer group for now.
