TDVG: A Bet On Growth To Support Total Returns, Mixed Results So Far

The T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth ETF offers active management focused on dividend and earnings growth, not high yield, with a quality, large-cap tilt. TDVG trades at a premium to dividend peers and delivers strong dividend growth, but its 1% yield and middling long-term performance limit its appeal for income investors. While TDVG's low beta and solid fundamentals are positives, its risk-adjusted returns lag top dividend growth ETFs like VIG, especially over five years.
