Our read on XUDV

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost dividend funds rank stocks by yield and buy the top of the list. XUDV's index is built by an optimizer instead, using risk models and dividend forecasts to assemble about 100 US stocks as one portfolio, at 0.09% a year.

Stated mandate

The Fund intends to track its underlying index and generally maintain diversification in approximately the same proportion as that index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.09% a year against a 0.39% median for US dividend-screen funds. Index-giant pricing on a strategy that only launched in 2025.businesswire.com
  • The index is built by New Frontier's optimizer, which uses commercial risk models and dividend forecasts to shape the whole portfolio rather than ranking stocks one by one on yield.businesswire.com
  • Tracking has stayed tight to the index since launch, and payouts come quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded with a small asset base, so spreads can run wider than on the household names in this category.
  • The category giants are cheaper still (VIG 0.04%, SCHD 0.06%, DGRO 0.08%) and carry far longer records than a fund that opened in January 2025.
  • The optimizer is proprietary, so the selection logic is less transparent than a published yield screen you can follow line by line.businesswire.com
