Dividend growth over time, particularly just 10 years, isn't a sufficient enough screener to gauge quality. VIG, another ETF which looks at dividend growth over a 10-year time frame, came to the bourses roughly the same time as PFM, but has a far superior track record. PFM's tech sector exposure may not be too ideal now.

PFM holds over 400 U.S. Dividend Achievers, defined as those with at least ten consecutive years of increasing dividend payments. The ETF has $651 million in AUM. A major negative is PFM's 0.53% expense ratio, which negatively impacts its already low dividend yield. High fees don't always deter me, but in this case, better alternatives exist. In particular, VIG has a similar composition, a competitive combination of growth, value, and quality, and a more reasonable 0.06% expense ratio that should result in higher dividend payments.
