Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DGROAiShares Core Dividend Growth ETF

RDIVCInvesco S&P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF

In short

DGRO BlackRock's dividend-growth screen casts a wider net than most: five straight years of raises rather than ten, plus a payout-ratio cap that filters out stretched payers. About 400 US dividend raisers, large through small cap, for 0.08% a year.

RDIV No data

Stated mandate

DGRO The fund seeks to follow an index of U.S. equities whose dividends have grown consistently.

RDIV No data

Why people hold it

  • DGRO Costs 0.08% a year, a small fraction of the typical fee among US dividend-screen ETFs.
  • The screen has teeth: a qualified dividend, five years of uninterrupted dividend growth, a payout ratio under 75%, and the top decile of yielders cut before the other tests run.ishares.com
  • Roughly 400 names across large, mid and small caps, weighted by the dividend dollars each company pays rather than by market cap.ishares.comcib.barclays
  • Tracks the Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index about as tightly as this group gets, and it's an actively traded, multi-billion-dollar fund that has run since 2014.

RDIV No data

Worth knowing

  • DGRO Chopping the highest-yielding decile is deliberate: this is built around payout growth and dividend durability, not the fattest current yield on the shelf.ishares.com
  • Only dividend payers qualify, so some of the market's biggest non-paying growth companies sit outside the portfolio by rule.ishares.com
  • Income arrives quarterly, not monthly, and this is plain US stock exposure: no buffer, no hedge, full equity risk.
