TDIV: Falling Behind In Growth And Dividends By Chasing Both

  • First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund warrants a sell rating due to its suboptimal performance compared to specialized tech and dividend ETFs. TDIV's long-term share price return lags tech-focused ETFs like VGT, while costing investors with higher fees through its expense ratio. A mix of VGT (25%) and SCHD (75%) offers superior capital appreciation, higher dividend yield, and lower overall fees compared to TDIV.
