Our read on UDIV

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost dividend funds throw out the market and keep the payers. UDIV keeps the market and leans it: an optimizer nudges a broad US index toward higher yield while staying tethered to it. Income tilt, index shape.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Morningstar US Dividend Enhanced Select Index.

Why people hold it

  • Six basis points, in a category where the typical fund charges 0.39%. That matches SCHD and undercuts DGRO, the shelf's best-known names.franklintempleton.com
  • Roughly 140 stocks selected by an optimizer built to maximize yield per unit of active risk against the broad market, not by simply ranking companies on payout.franklintempleton.com
  • Plain index plumbing: it follows the Morningstar US Dividend Enhanced Select Index with one of the tightest label-to-portfolio matches in its peer group. No side bets bolted on.
  • Running since 2016 and paying quarterly, which puts it among the stronger implementations in the US dividend-screen crowd.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the household-name dividend ETFs.
  • A tilt, not a yield hunt. The index limits how far it drifts from the broad market, which also limits how much extra income the tilt can add.franklintempleton.com
  • Fully invested in US stocks with no downside cushion. The dividend tilt shapes the payout, not the drawdown.
