DGRS also represents a new approach to dividend ETFs. Rather than focusing on for how long constituent companies have increased their payouts, DGRS uses metrics such as earnings quality and return on assets to assemble its 170-stock lineup.
In addition to DGRS, WisdomTree has two other dividend growth ETFs, the WisdomTree Global ex-US Growth Fund (NYSEArca: DNL) and the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Growth Fund (NYSEArca: DGRW). DGRW debuted in May and now has $35.2 million in assets.
