DIVBAiShares Core Dividend ETF

XUDVBFranklin US Dividend Booster Index ETF

In short

DIVB Most dividend funds only count the check that hits your account. DIVB's index also counts buybacks, treating a shrinking share count as cash returned to owners, and it charges five basis points to do it.

XUDV Most dividend funds rank stocks by yield and buy the top of the list. XUDV's index is built by an optimizer instead, using risk models and dividend forecasts to assemble about 100 US stocks as one portfolio, at 0.09% a year.

Stated mandate

DIVB The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. companies selected for a history of dividend payments and/or share buybacks, providing equity exposure oriented toward income and long-term growth.

XUDV The Fund intends to track its underlying index and generally maintain diversification in approximately the same proportion as that index.

Why people hold it

DIVB Five basis points a year, one of the lowest fees in the dividend-screen aisle, where the typical fund charges many times more.
The Morningstar US Dividend and Buyback Index counts repurchases alongside payouts, so a company buying back stock qualifies even with a modest yield. Roughly 400 US names.
Sits in the top tier of a large dividend-screen peer group and stays tight to its stated mandate: US dividend payers and buyback machines, nothing exotic.
A billion-dollar-plus member of the iShares Core lineup, running since 2017 and distributing quarterly.

XUDV 0.09% a year against a 0.39% median for US dividend-screen funds. Index-giant pricing on a strategy that only launched in 2025.businesswire.com
The index is built by New Frontier's optimizer, which uses commercial risk models and dividend forecasts to shape the whole portfolio rather than ranking stocks one by one on yield.businesswire.com
Tracking has stayed tight to the index since launch, and payouts come quarterly.

Worth knowing

DIVB Buybacks return value through share count, not cash in your pocket, so the income profile can sit lighter than pure high-yield screens like SPYD.
Moderately traded rather than a volume heavyweight like SCHD or VIG, so limit orders earn their keep, especially in size.
All-equity, all-US. Dividends and buybacks soften nothing when the American stock market sells off.

XUDV Thinly traded with a small asset base, so spreads can run wider than on the household names in this category.
The category giants are cheaper still (VIG 0.04%, SCHD 0.06%, DGRO 0.08%) and carry far longer records than a fund that opened in January 2025.
The optimizer is proprietary, so the selection logic is less transparent than a published yield screen you can follow line by line.businesswire.com
