Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

CGDGACapital Group Dividend Growers ETF

THORDThornburg Premium Income Builder ETF

In short

CGDG Capital Group's stock pickers hunt dividend growers anywhere on the map, developed markets and emerging ones alike, and charge less than the typical active global fund to do it. Roughly 100 names, income paid quarterly.

THOR No data

Stated mandate

CGDG CGDG seeks long-term total returns by investing in companies worldwide with the potential to provide attractive yield and dividend growth over the long term.

THOR No data

Why people hold it

  • CGDG Charges 0.47% a year, below the going rate for actively managed global equity ETFs. Cheap for a hand-picked portfolio, even if index products undercut it.
  • The mandate is genuinely worldwide, developed and emerging markets both in scope, and it screens for dividend growth potential rather than chasing the fattest current yield.
  • About 100 holdings, concentrated enough that individual picks carry real weight instead of getting diluted into an index-shaped blob. Distributions land quarterly.
  • Rates among the strongest funds in a crowded global active-equity group, and one of the few there built specifically around dividend growers.

THOR No data

Worth knowing

  • CGDG Launched in 2023, so there's no decade of results to judge this team's approach through a full market cycle.
  • Several highly rated global peers (GSWO, DFAW, AVGE) charge less. The extra fee here buys active selection, not broader coverage.
  • Emerging-market holdings bring currency swings and country-specific risk that a US-only dividend fund doesn't carry.
