The Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund (FDGFX) is a low cost, actively managed fund that seeks a high total return through dividends and capital appreciation. FDGFX focuses its attention on stocks that pay dividends or have the ability to pay dividends in the near future. Management pays special attention to those stocks that have already proven their ability to grow their dividends over time. The fund primarily focuses its attention on domestic large-cap stocks.
As an equity-income fund, FDGFX makes for a great subcore portfolio position when paired with a broader equity fund. The fund is internally managed by Fidelity.
