Overview
Companies with rising dividends, earnings growth, low payout ratios and strong cash-to-debt — dividend growth as a quality screen, not an income strategy.

Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Ignore the 0.8% headline yield — RDVY is not an income fund. It screens for companies that can keep raising dividends: growing earnings, payout ratios under 65%, more cash than debt issuance. That filter lands on financials and profitable tech rather than utilities, which is why it behaves like a quality-value growth fund and beat most dividend peers over the trailing year. The 0.48% fee is the main knock.
Who It's For
Total-return investors who use dividend growth as a quality signal rather than a paycheck. Wrong fund for retirees seeking current income; right fund for accumulation-phase investors wanting disciplined stock selection.
