Market cap $5.7B

The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Fund offers a diversified, value-oriented portfolio of 309 U.S. dividend stocks with risk-based screening. DLN underperforms the S&P 500 in total return but delivers lower volatility and a more balanced sector allocation, especially less tech concentration. Despite a lower yield and dividend growth rate, DLN has delivered a high total return and Sharpe ratio compared to key competitors since 2011.
