A smart beta exchange traded fund, the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) debuted on 06/10/2014, and offers broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market.
As investors search for reliable sources of passive income, many are naturally drawn to the highest-yielding dividend-paying funds.
Most dividend investors stop comparing HDV and SCHD at the fee line, but the real difference lives inside each fund's screening methodology, and that gap matters far more now that Treasuries are paying 4.54%.
I view the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF as a compelling buy amid potential capital rotation out of semiconductors. DGRO's portfolio construction prioritizes companies with strong free cash flows, consistent dividend growth, and positive earnings forecasts, filtering out value traps. The ETF has a low starting yield (1.9%) but boasts an 8.93% 10-year dividend CAGR and 11 consecutive years of dividend growth.
DIVO investors write two separate checks for every monthly deposit they receive, and most never see the second one coming. Before your next distribution lands, find out what the fund's fact sheet quietly leaves out.
The iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:DGRO) trades near $77, up roughly 11% year to date year-to-date.
Chasing yield is the most expensive habit in dividend investing, and the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:DGRO) exists precisely because a lot of investors keep doing it anyway.
While Wall Street focuses on tech and AI stocks, many dividend ETFs are outperforming the S&P 500 this year while delivering meaningful income.
