DGRW tracks the performance of an index that invests in large- and mid-cap dividend-paying US common stocks with growth characteristics.

In the value vs. growth debate, growth stocks significantly outperformed value stocks over the past decade, driven by the “Magnificent 7". The increasing dividend payments by large-cap growth companies blur the lines between growth and value strategies, as evidenced by DGRW keeping pace with the S&P 500 despite the dominance of these growth companies. An all-weather equity strategy like DGRW helps investors stay invested through both up and down markets, emphasizing the value of time in the market over trying to time it.

Win By Not Losing

The Schwab US Dividend Equity (SCHD), iShares Core Dividend Growth (DGRO), and the WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) ETFs are some of the best funds to invest in for dividend-focused investors.  While these funds don't have the highest yield, they have a proven record of doing modestly well over the years.

WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) is able to capture higher levels of price appreciation due to its holding make up. DGRW offers exposure to the tech sector while maintaining a priority focus on dividends. Although the starting yield of 1.5% is low, DGRW does offer some dividend growth over time.
