Dividend equities have historically shown resilience during market downturns and offer the potential for quicker recovery after losing less than other non-dividend benchmarks.

D Is For Defense (And Dividends)

WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) has outperformed Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and the S&P 500 in total returns over the long term. DGRW's dividend history shows growth but also a decline in 2023, raising concerns about its ability to select the best dividend growers. DGRW's high representation of tech companies and low representation in financials and energy contribute to its lower dividend yield compared to SCHD.

The WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund is a dividend-focused ETF that uses fundamental screens to select quality and growth stocks. September last year, I issued a thesis on DGRW outlining several reasons why this ETF embodies no advantage over the S&P 500 and why it is unattractive as a dividend ETF. Since then, DGRW has outperformed some comparable peers but has fallen short of the S&P 500, largely confirming my thesis.

DGRW: Fundamental Drag Is Confirmed And There Is Still No Reason To Go Long Here

WisdomTree recently announced a special rebalancing for its domestic dividend indexes to reflect the addition of Meta Platforms. The changes became effective Monday, March 18. This addition may prove beneficial to DGRW, one of WisdomTree's most popular quality-themed ETFs. DGRW is one of the few dividend-focused funds to offer near double-digit earnings per share growth. However, this growth doesn't come cheap. DGRW has one of the highest forward P/E ratios in the large-cap value category, and its 1.68% expected dividend yield is not too attractive.

DGRW: High-Quality Complement To SCHD

Dividend investing has become controversial as interest rates rise, causing dividend ETFs to underperform the S&P 500. Dividend ETFs can be categorized into core dividend funds, high-yield dividend funds, and dividend growth funds.

Are Dividend Growth Funds Ready for Liftoff?

DGRW's dividend growth has been lackluster, but the ETF has provided a superior total return compared against the S&P500. The holdings are weighted more heavily towards tech. As a result, the price is more likely to experience upside. There are several catalysts that can help propel DGRW to higher prices. This includes AI, interest rate cuts, and increased consumer spending.

I am a fan of monthly dividends, because they provide income stability and slightly increase the speed of compounding. I highlight eight monthly dividend payers that I consider to be high-quality investments with sustainable payouts. Monthly dividends are great, but not at the expense of the quality of assets, management, and balance sheet. Those factors are more important.
