Common questions about CGDV dividends, safety, and performance
Institutional Analysis Context
This FAQ section provides institutional-grade analysis of CGDV. DivAgent evaluates dividend ETFs using a proprietary 5-Tier Risk Spectrum that measures income sustainability, NAV erosion risk, and distribution source quality. Data is updated daily from market sources.
DivAgent Data Methodology
Risk Tier Classification
Our 5-Tier Risk Spectrum is not an editorial opinion. It is a quantitative scoring model derived from 36-month volatility, max drawdown depth, and option skew (for derivative funds). A "Tier 1" rating implies volatility comparable to short-term treasuries, while "Tier 5" indicates localized volatility exceeding the S&P 500.
NAV Erosion Calculation
We calculate "Erosion" by stripping out distribution payments to isolate the price performance of the underlying collateral. If a fund's share price drops by more than its distribution yield over a rolling 12-month period, it is flagged as eroding capital. This protects investors from "Yield Traps" that return their own principal as taxable income.
Yield vs. Income
DivAgent distinguishes between "SEC Yield" (standardized) and "Distribution Rate" (cash-on-cash). For option-income ETFs (e.g., Covered Calls), we prioritize the Trailing 12-Month (TTM) distribution rate as a more accurate reflection of realized income, while flagging that future payouts fluctuate with implied volatility.
Performance Benchmarking
All "Total Return" metrics differ from price return. We assume immediate reinvestment of all dividends (DRIP) on the pay date, with no tax friction. This "Net Total Return" metric allows for a true apples-to-apples comparison between high-yield/flat-price funds and low-yield/high-growth funds.
