Frustrated by hunt for mid-cap dividend funds? (DON)

WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Fund (DON, expense ratio 0.38%) is the oldest of the mid-cap dividend ETFs, having been launched in June 2006. The fund contains 395 positions weighted by each stock’s percentage of the regular cash dividends expected to be paid by all the companies in the index in the coming year.

WisdomTree starts by eliminating the 300 largest-cap stocks in its base index of all domestic dividend payers. Issues that constitute the top 75% of the remaining market capitalization are included in MidCap Dividend portfolio. Consumer discretionary (22%), real estate (16.1%), and industrials (15.1%) are the three top sectors. Morningstar expects that the forward dividend yield for DON will be 3.02%.

Through Sept. 7, the ETF had a 12-month total return of 17.37%.

Although the First Trust portfolio is off to a strong start, many advisors will consider its short trading history and higher expense ratio as reasons to avoid this ETF. In choosing between REGL and DON, performance, risk, and cost are similar. If you prefer dividend growth, REGL might be for you. Those seeking broader diversification will give strong consideration to DON.

Best Long-Term Performance U.S. Mid Cap Value ETFs 1.1

Summary:

  • U.S. Mid Cap Value Equities are an underutilized asset class
  • U.S. Mid Cap Value Equities have compounded at a rate of 13.2% since 1972, while large cap blend equities have compounded at 10.3% during the same time-frame.
  • The oldest U.S. Mid Cap Value ETF compounded at 10.7% since August 2000, while an S&P 500 index fund compounded at 5.8% during that time.

The U.S. Mid Cap Value asset class is an underappreciated and underutilized part of most people’s equity portfolios. This is understandable since investors can cover this section of the market with a myriad of other choices. If investors choose to invest in a Mid Cap Blend fund, about 50% of that fund will include mid cap value stocks. Investors could also choose a small and/or large cap value ETF and about 10% of those funds will be mid cap value companies. Additionally, investors can choose a U.S. Total Market Index fund and about 5% of that fund will be Mid Cap Value companies. All those funds are fine investments, but the U.S. Mid Cap Value index has had such a wonderful long-term track record that it would be wise to consider adding an ETF in this asset class to your equity portfolio.
