Our read on TDVG
BT. Rowe Price's stock pickers in an ETF wrapper. TDVG hunts companies that keep raising dividends rather than the fattest current yields, in a compact book of roughly 100 US names, and has been running since 2020.
The fund seeks dividend income and long-term capital growth.
Why people hold it
- Dividend growth, not top yield: at least 80% in stocks with an established or expected record of paying dividends, screened for sustainable earnings, sound finances and durable advantages.
- At 0.50% it undercuts the typical active dividend fund, and it rates among the stronger implementations in a crowded active-income field.
- About 100 stocks, so manager conviction shows instead of getting diluted across hundreds of names. Income is paid quarterly.
- A multi-billion-dollar fund live since 2020, with trading that has held up well for an actively managed strategy.
Worth knowing
- The screens favor companies raising payouts over the fattest current yielders, so the income profile tends to run lighter than deep-value dividend strategies.
- 0.50% is active-manager pricing: strong peers in the same cohort charge less, including CGDV at 0.33% and HIDV at 0.35%.
- No index to hide behind. Outcomes ride on the team's picks, and a US-only book of roughly 100 stocks carries full equity market risk.
