RDVY: Why Bother With An Inferior Strategy?

I rate RDVY a hold: its dividend growth strategy fails to outperform the market and is more volatile than broad large-cap ETFs like VOO. RDVY's portfolio is concentrated, has high turnover (57%), and a high expense ratio (0.48%), and delivers lower risk-adjusted returns than the market. Despite a reputation for resilience, RDVY's dividend yield is only marginally higher than VOO, and its risk metrics are worse, making it a less attractive option.
