Our read on TMDV
CA dividend fund built around a longevity test: TMDV holds roughly 60 U.S. companies with long unbroken records of raising their payouts, drawn from the full Russell 3000 rather than only the mega-cap crowd.
TMDV seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Russell 3000 Dividend Elite Index, which selects U.S. companies with long records of annual dividend increases.
Why people hold it
- The screen is the whole story: only U.S. companies with long records of annual dividend increases make the Russell 3000 Dividend Elite Index.proshares.com
- At 0.35%, it undercuts the typical fund in its dividend-screen peer group.
- About 60 names pulled from the whole Russell 3000, so mid-sized dividend raisers can qualify, not just the usual large-cap payers.proshares.com
- Rules-based and legible: one published index, quarterly distributions, and a portfolio that has stayed close to that stated mandate since the 2019 launch.
Worth knowing
- Small asset base and thin trading volume, so the cost of getting in and out can matter more here than with the category's heavyweights.
- 0.35% is several times what the largest dividend-growth funds charge: VIG, SCHD and DGRO all sit under a tenth of a percent.
- With roughly 60 holdings, single names and sector tilts carry real weight next to broad dividend funds that own hundreds of stocks.
