Our read on VSDA
CMost dividend growth funds reward the past. VSDA tracks a Nasdaq index that runs a statistical model on large and mid cap payers to rank who is likeliest to raise dividends next year, aiming at payout growth over fat yield.
The Fund seeks to track the Nasdaq Victory Dividend Accelerator Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- The index runs a logit model over 14 variables to rank which dividend payers are likeliest to raise next year, then holds 75 of them. Streak counting is only part of it.indexes.nasdaqomx.comindexes.nasdaqomx.com
- Weights lean on dividend yield and 10-year net income stability instead of market cap, REITs are screened out, and the roster refreshes at quarterly rebalances.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
- Pays monthly, and it has tracked its index live since its 2017 launch, not on backtested paper.
- Narrow mandate: at least 80% of assets in index securities, with no manager discretion over which stocks make the cut.sec.gov
Worth knowing
- The 0.40% fee sits near the middle of the dividend-screen crowd, but index giants like VIG (0.04%) and SCHD (0.06%) charge a fraction of it.
- Assets are modest and trading is thin next to the category's household names, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider.
- Forecasts are odds, not promises. A flagged raiser can freeze its payout, and the index waits for the next quarterly rebalance to respond.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
