Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BGDVBBahl & Gaynor Dividend ETF

DIVEDDana Concentrated Dividend ETF

In short

BGDV No data

DIVE Most dividend funds spread their bets over hundreds of names. DIVE goes the other way: an actively picked book of roughly 25 to 35 dividend payers, chasing growth and income at once. It launched in September 2025, so the track record starts here.

Stated mandate

BGDV No data

DIVE The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and income through an actively managed portfolio of approximately 25 to 35 primarily dividend-paying equity securities.

Why people hold it

BGDV No data

  • DIVE Real concentration, by design: the prospectus targets roughly 25 to 35 primarily dividend-paying stocks, so a single good pick still moves the needle.
  • The mandate is two-sided, long-term capital appreciation plus income, not a yield chase with the growth engine bolted shut.
  • The manager can shop outside the US as well as at home, so a dividend payer in Europe or Asia is fair game.
  • Simple plumbing: a standard 1940 Act ETF holding stocks. No derivatives overlay, no K-1 at tax time.

Worth knowing

BGDV No data

  • DIVE At 0.65%, the fee sits above the 0.55% median for active dividend funds and well above cheaper rivals like CGDV (0.33%) and HIDV (0.35%).
  • A 2025 launch with no multi-year record, and on the measures we track it currently sits in the lower reaches of a crowded peer group.
  • Small asset base and thin trading, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads than the category's household names.
