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.

The dominance of a few large technology stocks in the S&P 500 has caused concern among investors, but there may be useful alternatives in the form of equal-weighting approaches or dividend-growth strategies.

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.

Despite all its merits, we touch upon a few reasons why a fresh long position now could be dicey.

The Charles Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD -0.25%) is a favorite among many dividend investors due to its diversified portfolio and dividend growth. However, there are many great exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the market. I discuss three other ETFs in today's video, including The WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth ETF.

DGRW invests in dividend-paying U.S. large-caps with good growth and quality. DGRW has comparable total returns to the S&P 500, with a very slightly higher dividend yield and stronger dividend growth. The fund seems like a good investment opportunity, just not for income investors.

DGRW: A Competitive Dividend Growth ETF With A Subpar 1.8% Dividend Yield

The WisdomTree US Dividend Growth ETF focuses on EPS growth and is weighted by absolute dividends paid, but may struggle to generate alpha. I calculate a 7% upside potential to 2024 on consensus price targets. The portfolio has a PE of 16x on consensus estimates for 1.8x PEG ratio.
