How The actively managed ETF space is constantly growingThere is a growing number of actively managed ETFs from dividends such as T. Dividend Growth ETF (TDVG), and managers bet that they can identify higher quality dividend payers who generate a better mix of recognition of capital and profits.

Cannot be avoided, but it can limit the technology

Investors who want to avoid technological stocks, taking into account the latest Rough Patch market, although they did so Sprinkle sharply last weekI can't do it in this dividend fund, with the largest technology companies also the largest dividend payers, taking into account how rich in cash and reliable. The best TDVG farms are Apple and Microsoft, each at about 5%. They are also one of the best resources in Vigard's VIG and DGRO Ishares.

Investors who Expect that the general ride on the technology sector will still be bumpy He can obtain an exposure to the largest dividend payers in the technology industry, without overloading the technology sector as a whole, such as the S&P 500 index, via ETF Dividend, such as TDVG.

“We finally reached a point in the cycle where overweight” Mag 7 “reached its limit,” said Todd Sohn, head of ETFS in Strategas, last week CNBC “ETF EDGE”

“It will not be zero, but a little diluted, nor do you extinguish one name and underweight,” he said.

The largest TDVG farms after Apple and Microsoft are Visa, JP Morgan and Chubb. His General exposure to the technology sector is about 19%, compared to 30% for S&P 500.

Tim Coyne, head of the company ETF T. Rowe Price, said next to Sohn in “ETF Edge” that the topics of macro income and dividends led to a strong influx of dividend funds in the ETF industry.

With over $ 10 billion of flows throughout the year in Dividend ETF, the category is suitable for other approaches “based on factors” to invest in the US stock market, but the value ($ 12 billion) and ETF growth ($ 15 billion) still not much took much in the flows from investors.

Coyne says that active managed ETF from dividends make sense for investors on the unstable market. Passive dividend funds are by nature more static, because they change shares only within regularly planned periods of re -balance for base indexes, not in response to a change in stocks or sector's momentum or in the general market environment. TDVG is looking for double goals for paying dividend income, but also the long -term recognition of capital at the prices of its shares.

Actively managed ETFs from dividends do not compete with ETF options of the index in terms of popularity. ETF from dividend passively, according to the broader trend of investors, won most of the flows in 2025, according to about $ 7 billion compared to $ 3.7 billion for actively launched ETFs from dividends, according to ETF. Sohn said that the ETF of the dividend exchange rate still has a great advantage, with one reason is a much lower cost. “I could buy a dividend ETF for a few base points, but you see more active players,” he said.

TDVG has a cost indicator of 0.50% (or 50 base points). Vanguard VIG, for comparison, downloads 0.05%(or 5 base points).

Sohn claims that the dividends actively managed by ETF should make some progress in collecting assets in time. “You will start to see more adhesion among active managers who will also focus on searching for companies that pay dividends, or at least properly valued, and they also have a dividend, as a kind of bonus in a sense.”

It is pensioners who live on constant income, which usually use the dividend investment strategy the most, “older people who want this stream of income because they are not so dependent on the payment every two weeks,” said Sohn.

He added, however, that looking at dividend shares makes sense for many types of investors. This is especially true, he said during increased risk on the bond market, where investors most often strive for profits.

According to ETF, the ETF with the highest dividends with dividends had their short -term performance problems, with the five most important crop payers from 5% to 11% to a year. On the other hand, the most important ETFs from dividends at performance pay much lower profitability, with the best five of which have twelve -month dividend income levels of 1.3% to 4.2%.

Never buy alone on performance

“ETF Edge” and correspondent of older CNBC Bob markets written warning investors against buying a dividend fund based on profitability. The highest dividend payers can also be the most susceptible to dividend cuts if their financial position weakens. The last example was the energy sector, in which many large oil and gas companies had large dividends, which have become defenseless when their balances have been burdened in recent years, although they have been recovered since then. The goal should be to find a balance of shares, which are coherent dividend payers, and at the same time to offer the recognition of capital.

One of the best actions on the market this year does not pay dividend and never had: Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffetta – The new ETF is trying to deal with it.

Coyne said that concerns about the financial stress of the dividend payer and lowering the payment, on which investors depend that active management can change something, “navigation on markets when you see an increase in variability, and even dispersion of twists and turns in sectors or in various industries.”

The cash flows of the corporation will be introduced to the new test during the global trade war, which could lead to risk to foreign revenue bases of American companies, as well as a hit in the margins of profits. But solid dividend payers can be attractive to investors on the market where the bonds were in unusual stress because of the economic policy of the Trump administration. Although he would go too far to say that there is a system “credit problem” on the market, SOHN noticed that the spots on the bonds expanded both on the corporate bond market and the CDS market, and investors had high -performance funds.

“You don't want to achieve very high performance when the credit background deteriorates for corporate America,” said Sohn.
