Our read on RJDI
DMost dividend funds just run a screen. RJDI writes its goals down as a contract: yield above the S&P 500 and inflation, dividend growth above inflation, and volatility no higher than the index over a full cycle. Active, and priced like it.
The fund seeks current income and capital appreciation. It is actively managed and targets dividend yield above the S&P 500 and inflation, dividend growth above inflation, and volatility no higher than the index over a full market cycle.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is unusually specific for an active fund: yield above both the S&P 500 and inflation, dividend growth above inflation, and volatility no higher than the index over a full market cycle.
- Actively managed rather than screen-bound, so a manager can act on a deteriorating payer between reconstitution dates instead of waiting for the index calendar.
- Income lands quarterly, and the stated objective pairs current income with capital appreciation instead of reaching for the highest yield on the board.
Worth knowing
- Active management carries an active price tag: 0.63% a year, while cohort leaders SCHD, VIG and DGRO charge single-digit basis points for rules-based dividend exposure.
- It launched in October 2025, so there is little history yet to judge the yield, growth and volatility targets against.
- A young, thinly traded fund can show wider bid-ask spreads than the category's household names, a cost that shows up on the way in and the way out.
