DON: The Dividend Focus Doesn't Justify The Higher Fees

  • DON offers targeted exposure to U.S. mid-cap stocks with a focus on dividend-paying companies, appealing to income-oriented investors. Given the current growth challenges of the U.S. economy, being underweight or going with a defensive option is warranted. However, the combination of dividend investing with mid-cap exposure doesn't appear to justify the higher expense ratio of DON.
