FDVV Fidelity High Dividend ETF
Fidelity High Dividend ETF has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 7.3
- Yield of 2.69% is in the typical sustainable zone (2-4%)
- Payout ratio not applicable for ETFs — ETF distributions are dictated by the fund's underlying holdings
- ETF structure provides built-in diversification — single-name dividend cuts have limited impact
- Mid-cap scale — more sensitive to economic cycles
Where FDVV ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where FDVV lands inside that universe.
The universe is curated to the most-searched US dividend payers. We'll expand it as the data layer grows; sector percentiles only appear when we have at least 5 comparable peers.
The two questions a safety score doesn't answer
A safety score tells you how durable FDVV's payout looks. It does not tell you what you keep after tax, or whether something else does the same job better.
On tax: what you actually pocket depends on whether FDVV dividends are qualified — qualified distributions are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, while ordinary ones are taxed at your full marginal rate, a gap that can reach 22 percentage points of the income on the same headline yield.
On substitutes: if FDVV's 7.3/10 score is lower than you want, see FDVV alternatives — same-sector ETFs ranked by how closely they match FDVV on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.
About Fidelity High Dividend ETF
The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in the underlying index and in depository receipts representing securities included in the underlying index. The underlying index is designed to reflect the performance of stocks of large and mid-capitalization high-dividend-paying companies that are expected to continue to pay and grow their dividends.
How we score dividend safety
The Infnits dividend safety score is a 0–10 rating derived from yield zone, payout ratio (when applicable), yield trend versus 5-year average, instrument type, and company size. Each factor is independently transparent — see the reasons above for exactly which factors contributed to FDVV's score.
