DGROAiShares Core Dividend Growth ETF

TPHDCTimothy Plan High Dividend Stock 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.

TPHD A dividend fund with a conviction filter bolted to the front end: biblically screened US large caps, the 100 highest yielders among them, weighted by volatility instead of market cap, with income paid monthly.

Stated mandate

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

TPHD The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Victory US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted BRI Index before fees and expenses. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in that index.

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.com cib.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.

TPHD The screen is the whole point. Timothy Plan has applied biblically responsible filters since 1994, and names clear that gate before yield is even considered.timothyplan.com timothyplan.com 2
Volatility weighting, not market cap: the steadier names get the bigger slots, so no single mega-cap can swallow the portfolio.timothyplan.com
Rules, not hunches. Up to 100 holdings drawn by a published index methodology, running live since 2019, with net investment income paid out monthly.timothyplan.com

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.

TPHD The screen costs money: 0.52% a year, above the typical dividend-screen ETF and many times what plain-vanilla peers like SCHD and VIG charge.
It trades lightly next to the category's giants, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads, especially in fast-moving markets.
The faith screen removes entire business lines, so the holdings can look quite different from a broad dividend index and can behave differently too.timothyplan.com
