DVGRDDAC 3D Dividend Growth ETF

HIDVAAB US High Dividend ETF

In short

DVGR A boutique newcomer named for its screen: 3D, short for "Double Digits for a Decade or More." DAC runs a global stock portfolio on growth, quality and value, chasing capital appreciation and current income in one wrapper.

HIDV HIDV hunts dividends without wandering off the map: an active, systematic screen on value, quality and momentum, wrapped around S&P 500-like market participation. Income tilt, core-equity shape.

Stated mandate

DVGR The Fund seeks capital appreciation and current income.

HIDV HIDV is an active U.S. equity ETF seeking core U.S. equity exposure, attractive dividend income, and capital appreciation. Its systematic process is designed to identify dividend opportunities while maintaining diversified, market-like participation.

Why people hold it

  • DVGR The mandate is spelled out: capital appreciation plus current income, drawn from a global stock pool screened on growth, quality and value.
  • Plain plumbing. A 1940 Act stock fund with no leverage and no options overlay to decode before you own it.
  • Global by design, so the hunt for dividend growers is not fenced into the US market.
  • Actively run with quarterly distributions: a manager can act on a dividend cut instead of waiting for an index reconstitution.
  • HIDV Charges 0.35%, well under the 0.55% median for active US dividend funds, and undercuts active peers like TDVG (0.50%) and BGIG (0.45%).
  • Stock picking is systematic, not vibes: AB advertises value, quality and momentum as the levers. You can see what drives the portfolio.alliancebernstein.com
  • Roughly 110 US names measured against the S&P 500, so the income tilt sits inside diversified core exposure rather than a narrow yield corner. Pays quarterly.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger builds among the three dozen-odd active dividend-income ETFs we track.

Worth knowing

  • DVGR 0.65% a year sits above the median for dividend-income peers, and cheaper active options exist: CGDV at 0.33%, TDVG at 0.50%.
  • It opened in December 2025 and names no declared index, so there is little live history to measure the 3D process against.
  • A young fund with a modest asset base trades thinner than the category's giants, so the spread and a limit order are worth a look.
  • HIDV A smaller, thinly traded fund. Spreads can be wider than the category giants, so limit orders matter more here.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short relative to older dividend franchises.
  • Fully invested US stock fund with no downside cushion. A dividend tilt is not a shock absorber when the market drops.
