What DIVH Does, Per the Prospectus
DIVH listed on September 2, 2026 — the ETF debut of a strategy North Dakota's Viking Fund Management has run for years in mutual-fund form, brought to market through white-label shop Exchange Traded Concepts. The core rule is strict: at least 65% of assets in companies that have raised their dividend for at least 10 consecutive years, with at least 80% in dividend payers overall. On top of that screen, the managers — led by Shannon Radke and Michael Morey, the same team running the Integrity Dividend Harvest mutual fund — apply judgment on yield, dividend growth rate, valuation, credit quality, and balance-sheet strength. Up to 30% can sit in foreign stocks.
The fee is the story's tension: 0.70% gross, 0.67% net (waiver through August 2027). That's roughly ten times what SCHD charges for its index-based dividend-quality screen — so DIVH is an explicit bet that human selection among dividend raisers earns its keep. The stated objective is high current income first, appreciation second, with preservation of capital as a constraint — classic dividend-growth positioning, not a high-yield product.
What the filing doesn't say: distribution frequency and yield — no rate is targeted and no schedule disclosed. The best available hint is the sibling: the mutual-fund version of this exact strategy has paid monthly since May 2012. That's the managers' habit, not this fund's promise — our payout watcher checks daily, and the first declared distribution appears here the day it hits the record, when the comparison everyone will want — SCHD vs VYM vs DIVH — finally has a number.
What Nobody Can Know Yet
A one-day-old fund has no payment history, no real yield, and no evidence of how its managers' judgment performs in ETF form — any income figure you hear this early is an inference from the mutual-fund sibling, not this fund's record. We chart every payment of every fund we track from its very first one; DIVH's page in that library begins the day it declares.

Frequently Asked Questions
When did DIVH launch?
September 2, 2026, on NYSE Arca — NYSE certified the listing on August 31 and our radar's daily sweep of new US listings logged it launch morning. The launch tracker shows everything else on the runway.
What does DIVH pay?
Unknown until it declares — no yield target and no disclosed schedule in the summary prospectus. The 10-year-raisers screen points toward moderate, growing income rather than a big headline yield. First distribution gets charted here the day it exists.
How is DIVH different from SCHD?
Formula vs judgment: SCHD's index screen costs 0.06%; DIVH's active management costs 0.67% net. Both want dividend quality — DIVH requires 10 straight years of increases and lets its managers weigh valuation and balance sheets by hand, and it can hold up to 30% foreign stocks. The open question a new fund can't answer yet: whether the judgment beats the formula by more than the fee gap.
