Our read on NUDV
CMost ESG funds are the S&P 500 with the laggards screened out. NUDV starts somewhere else: higher-yielding US dividend payers, run through TIAA's ESG screens, landing at roughly 90 stocks.
The Fund seeks to track the TIAA ESG USA High Dividend Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Two jobs, one ticket: it tracks the TIAA ESG USA High Dividend Index, so the income tilt and the values screen are built into the same rulebook.
- Roughly 90 US stocks, not a lightly edited 500. You get a real dividend concentration rather than the whole market with a few names shaved off.
- Income arrives on a quarterly schedule, the standard cadence for US dividend equity funds.
- Live since 2021 with a Nuveen wrapper around a TIAA-branded index, so the screening methodology and the manager come from the same house.
Worth knowing
- At 0.26% it sits just above its ESG peer group's median and roughly triple the broad screened index funds like ESGV (0.09%) and XVV (0.08%).
- Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so spreads can run wider than the household-name ESG funds and size orders deserve care.
- A dividend screen plus an ESG screen means a portfolio that can look nothing like the S&P 500, in either direction, in any given stretch.
