VDIGBVanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF

In short

VDIG No data

Stated mandate

CGDV The fund seeks income above the average yield of U.S. stocks while also offering capital-growth potential.

VDIG No data

Why people hold it

  • CGDV Costs 0.33% a year while the typical fund in its active dividend peer group charges around 0.55%. Active stock picking, index-fund pricing.
  • Dual mandate: income above the average yield of U.S. stocks plus capital-growth potential. Not a pure yield chase.capitalgroup.com
  • Tens of billions in assets and heavy daily trading make it one of the easier funds in its peer group to get in and out of at a fair spread.
  • Delivers its stated mandate with unusual consistency for an active fund, placing it among the strongest implementations in its dividend-income peer group.

VDIG No data

Worth knowing

  • CGDV About 60 holdings. That concentration means individual company stumbles land harder than in a fund holding hundreds of names.
  • Active and benchmark-agnostic: results track the managers' calls, not an index, so it can drift well away from the broad market in either direction.
  • Pays quarterly, not monthly. Worth knowing if you're building an income schedule.
