WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth DGRW favors highly profitable stocks with durable competitive advantages that should have the capacity to raise their dividends in the future. But it ignores firms' records of past dividend growth, which reflects managers' willingness to raise their dividends and the stability of the underlying businesses. Dividend weighting also limits the fund's exposure to firms with improving fundamentals. It warrants a downgrade to a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral from Bronze.
