Could DRVR Become the Next Great Dividend Growth ETF?
Date: 2026-08-03 21:16:28
Can you predict tomorrow’s dividend leaders instead of just buying yesterday’s winners?
In this episode of Dividend Stockpile, I’m joined by Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs, to discuss the launch of the Amplify S&P 500 Dividend Drivers ETF (DRVR)—a new ETF designed to identify companies with the potential for future dividend growth, not just an impressive dividend history.
Unlike many traditional dividend ETFs that rely primarily on backward-looking metrics, DRVR combines a proven history of dividend increases with forward-looking dividend growth forecasts and quality factors such as balance sheet strength and cash flow durability. The goal is to build a portfolio of companies that can continue growing their dividends while delivering attractive long-term total returns.
In this interview, we discuss:
Why Amplify launched the DRVR ETF
How DRVR differs from traditional dividend growth ETFs
The importance of forward-looking dividend growth forecasts
Why quality metrics like cash flow and balance sheet strength matter
How DRVR identifies companies with the potential for future dividend increases
Why dividend growth investing has historically been a powerful long-term strategy
How DRVR compares with popular dividend ETFs like SCHD, DGRO, and VIG
The balance between current income, dividend growth, and total return
Where DRVR may fit within a long-term dividend portfolio
If you’re looking to build a portfolio that generates growing income over time rather than simply chasing today’s highest yields, this conversation offers valuable insights into a fresh approach to dividend investing.
