What is the DLN ETF?
DLN is the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Fund, launched in June 2006. Its index takes the 300 largest U.S. companies that paid regular cash dividends over the past year.
The twist is how it weights them. Instead of using company size, it weights each stock by the total cash dividends it is expected to pay in the coming year. So the companies that pay out the most dollars get the most weight. No sector can be more than 25% at each yearly reset, and real estate is capped at 10%.
DLN costs 0.28% a year, about $28 on $10,000, and held $6.32 billion on October 15, 2026.
What are the top holdings of the DLN ETF?
On October 15, 2026, Microsoft was the largest holding at 5.15%, then Nvidia at 3.77% and JPMorgan Chase at 2.85%. Apple, ExxonMobil, Meta, Johnson & Johnson, Broadcom, AbbVie and Chevron filled out the top ten, which held about 26% of the fund.
Technology was the biggest sector at 21.3%, ahead of financials at 17.0% and health care at 14.2%.

About DLN
DLN tracks the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index, holding the 300 largest US dividend payers weighted by projected cash dividends rather than market cap, and pays monthly. The dividend-weighting tilts the fund toward companies paying the most in aggregate dividends.
DLN is a high-dividend etf from WisdomTree that distributes monthly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for DLN: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the DLN calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with DLN’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a high-dividend etf these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.
DLN dividend FAQ
- What is the dividend yield of the DLN ETF?
- WisdomTree put DLN’s distribution yield at 2.34% and its 30-day SEC yield at 1.81% on October 15, 2026. The trailing yield on this page uses the last 12 monthly payments.
- How much did DLN pay in 2025?
- $1.675 a share over 12 monthly payments, from $0.06 in January to $0.27004 in December.
- Does DLN pick stocks by dividend yield?
- No. It weights by dividend dollars, not by yield, so very large companies with low yields, such as Microsoft, sit near the top. High-yield funds pick stocks by yield instead.
- How does this DLN dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads pre-filled with DLN's current yield (about 1.74% as of Oct 13, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
- What yield should I use for DLN?
- As of Oct 13, 2026, DLN's dividend yield was about 1.74% ($1.74 per share over the trailing year). Yields move with the share price, so use the current figure from your broker rather than a fixed number. Enter the trailing or forward yield, whichever you prefer to model.
- How often does DLN pay dividends, and when?
- WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Fund pays a monthly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.195 per share, ex-dividend Sep 25, 2026. This calculator compounds monthly and projects annual totals, so it works the same regardless of the payment schedule — the cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the DLN projection a guarantee?
- No. It is an educational projection based on the assumptions you enter, held constant. Real dividends can rise, be cut, or stop, and prices fluctuate. Use it to compare scenarios, not to predict returns, and never rely on a single calculator for an investment decision.
