Our read on TPHD
CA dividend fund with a conviction filter bolted to the front end: biblically screened US large caps, the 100 highest yielders among them, weighted by volatility instead of market cap, with income paid monthly.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Victory US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted BRI Index before fees and expenses. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in that index.
Why people hold it
- The screen is the whole point. Timothy Plan has applied biblically responsible filters since 1994, and names clear that gate before yield is even considered.timothyplan.comblog.timothyplan.com
- Volatility weighting, not market cap: the steadier names get the bigger slots, so no single mega-cap can swallow the portfolio.timothyplan.com
- Rules, not hunches. Up to 100 holdings drawn by a published index methodology, running live since 2019, with net investment income paid out monthly.timothyplan.com
Worth knowing
- The screen costs money: 0.52% a year, above the typical dividend-screen ETF and many times what plain-vanilla peers like SCHD and VIG charge.
- It trades lightly next to the category's giants, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads, especially in fast-moving markets.
- The faith screen removes entire business lines, so the holdings can look quite different from a broad dividend index and can behave differently too.blog.timothyplan.com
