Three dividend growth ETFs—Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG), iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO), and WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW)—use distinct screening rules to select companies with growing dividends. VIG requires a 10-year dividend growth streak, focusing on stability but with a tech-heavy portfolio. DGRO lowers the requirement to 5 years and weights holdings by dividend size, offering a modest yield with a low fee. DGRW screens for profitability and earnings growth, allowing younger companies but with higher fees and more payment variability. Each ETF suits different investor goals, balancing income growth potential, risk, and fees over a long-term horizon.

The ETF also shows strong investor interest on Pluang, with 98% of order activity on the buy side and a typical holding period of 131 days, highlighting its appeal for those seeking steady dividend growth.
