About HDV
HDV tracks the Morningstar Dividend Yield Focus Index, screening for higher-yielding US companies with quality and financial-health filters. It tilts defensive, with heavy energy, healthcare, and consumer-staples exposure.
HDV is a high-dividend etf from iShares 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 HDV: 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 HDV calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with HDV’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.
