Dividend Assets Capital Featured in the News Following Launch of the 3D Dividend Growth ETF (DVGR)
Dividend Assets Capital (DAC) recently reached a significant milestone with national news coverage surrounding the launch of its new exchange-traded fund, the 3D Dividend Growth ETF (NASDAQ: DVGR). The recognition highlights both the firm’s long-standing investment discipline and the growing demand for high-quality dividend growth strategies in today’s evolving market.
The launch of DVGR marks an important step for DAC, extending a proven investment philosophy—one that has guided client portfolios for decades—into an actively managed ETF accessible to a broader range of investors.
At the Intersection of Wall Street and Main Street
Dividend Assets Capital was founded in 2003 when two Wall Street veterans—Tom Cameron and Troy Shaver—became neighbors on Spring Island in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Together, they brought under one roof some of the most influential and enduring philosophies in investment management.
Tom Cameron, often referred to as the “Grandfather of Dividend Growth Investing,” and Troy Shaver, developer of the “Double Digits for a Decade or More” (3D) dividend growth philosophy, built DAC on a simple belief: disciplined, time-tested strategies should be delivered with a friends-and-family approach, grounded in clarity, consistency, and long-term thinking.
Nearly two decades later, DAC remains deeply committed to that philosophy—serving clients across generations while earning the trust of institutional investors, advisors, and families nationwide. The launch of DVGR represents a natural evolution of that legacy.
A Proven Philosophy, Now in an ETF
The 3D Dividend Growth ETF (DVGR) is an actively managed ETF built on DAC’s proprietary 3D Dividend Growth™ methodology, which seeks to invest in companies demonstrating exceptional shareholder commitment and long-term financial strength.
For a company to be considered for inclusion, it must meet three rigorous criteria:
- Dividend Growth – A consistent history of raising dividends
- Double Digits – Average annual dividend growth of at least 10%
- Decade or More – Sustained performance over a minimum of 10 consecutive years
This disciplined framework is designed to identify businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong cash flows, and management teams focused on rewarding shareholders over time.
“Investors want to understand their investments and trust that they will potentially be successful,” said Marc Saurborn, CFA®, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Dividend Assets Capital. “That’s why our 3D methodology has resonated so well with our clients. It’s simple, transparent, and makes sense—double-digit dividend growth for a decade or more.”
Why DVGR, and Why Now
In an environment marked by market volatility, shifting interest-rate expectations, and increased uncertainty, many investors are seeking strategies that balance long-term capital appreciation with growing income.
DVGR was designed with that objective in mind, offering:
- Exposure to companies built for sustainable, long-term success
- A focus on steadily rising dividend income over time
- Broad diversification across sectors, company sizes, and geographies
- Active management guided by a repeatable, real-world investment process
For investors seeking rising income, disciplined stock selection, and a long-term approach rooted in consistency rather than short-term trends, DVGR represents a compelling new option.
A Milestone for Dividend Assets Capital
The national media coverage surrounding the launch of DVGR underscores the relevance of DAC’s investment approach and the growing interest in disciplined dividend growth strategies. For a firm that has been 100% employee-owned since 2011, the ETF represents not just a new product—but a broader opportunity to extend its philosophy to investors nationwide.
Dividend Assets Capital has been recognized as one of South Carolina’s leading advisory firms and was named to AdvisorHub’s “Top 250 Advisors to Watch” in both 2024 and 2025. DVGR builds on that foundation by offering investors access to a strategy shaped by decades of real-world experience.
