Good find, Eric. Money quote from the article:
I've done no digging into the tickers myself as yet, but have a hard time imagining even finding enough upside in a dividend fund to overcome the costs. Maybe I can be dismissed as having drunk the "DG kool aid," but it is an approach to investing where I think individual investors can beat the funds.
There's a "dividend" fund in my 401k that I looked at closely once (don't remember which one right now), but it paled next to my own portfolio.
Quote:WisdomTree's dividend funds are characterized by relatively low yields and inconsistent dividend growth histories that fall short of what many dividend growth investors achieve on their own.
