Our read on HDV
BA high-yield screen with a quality gate. HDV holds roughly 80 U.S. dividend payers from a Morningstar index that weighs company quality and value alongside yield, at a Core-lineup fee of 0.08%.
The fund seeks to track an index of high-dividend-yielding U.S. stocks and provides income-oriented exposure through U.S. equities.
Why people hold it
- 0.08% a year is one of the cheaper tickets in the dividend-screen aisle, well under the typical fee among its peers.ishares.com
- The index applies quality and value screens, so a fat yield alone doesn't earn a stock a spot.ishares.com
- Running since 2011 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund inside the iShares Core lineup. Long-established plumbing, not a new launch.
- Straightforward US stock fund in a standard 1940 Act wrapper, paying income on a quarterly schedule.
Worth knowing
- About 80 holdings, so single names and sector tilts carry more weight here than in a broad-market index fund.
- A yield-and-value screen leans toward mature payers and away from low-payout growth companies, so the mix looks different from the total market.
- Different flavor from cohort stablemate DGRO, which targets dividend growth rather than the highest current yields.
