FDVV vs. HDV: Which Dividend Stock ETF is a Better Buy?

The article compares two dividend ETFs: Fidelity High Dividend ETF (FDVV) and iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV). While FDVV has delivered stronger recent returns (18.8% annually over 3 years), it holds a tech-heavy portfolio with low-dividend stocks like Nvidia and Apple, making it risky for dividend investors. HDV offers better diversification across consumer staples, energy, and healthcare with a higher dividend yield (2.88%), lower expense ratio (0.08%), and is recommended as the better choice for risk-conscious dividend investors seeking steady income.
