DGRO: A Fund That Lacks A Clear Focus
Investing was straightforward over the last decade, with consistent economic growth and strong equity performance, except during the pandemic. Index investing excelled, with funds like iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF outperforming the S&P 500 and broader indexes. As market conditions become unpredictable, investors must adapt strategies; future index fund returns may not match past 15-20% annual gains.

Why dividend income may have its day in uncertain stock and bond market
Dividend income has always been popular with stock market investors, especially older investors seeking yield. The recent correction in the technology-led market, and new forms of bond risk rising from President Trump's economic policy, may place even more focus on yield from dividend stocks.

DGRO: Growth Is A Synonym For Overvaluation In Today's Markets
DGRO focuses on dividend growth but dismisses valuation. The average P/FCF sits at 27x, which seems too optimistic. So-called growth stocks are often overvalued; total return and valuation are crucial for sustainable high returns. High market valuations pose significant downside risks; historical examples show markets will swing from exuberance to panic over time.
