DGRO offers a straightforward execution of a dividend growth strategy. The fund aims to find stocks that pay steadily increasing dividends by requiring a 5-year track record of increasing dividends while ensuring that the firms pay out no more than 75% of earnings. Both factors in tandem aim for sustainable growth. While mild sector bets abound, overall the fund looks pretty marketlike. The US total market space is an active battleground for a crowded space, and DGRO is placed competitively within the segment.
