"Buying ETFs like iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:DGRO ) and iShares International Select Dividend ETF (BATS:IDV ) by next year could set you up for even more gains. I'd specifically buy these two ETFs before 2026 due to the economy being at a pivotal point. Interest rates are finally coming down. But at the same time, investors are increasingly apprehensive about the AI rally. Both of these elements can lead to a rotation towards defensive dividend stocks."
"Plus, BlackRock's ETFs are popular for a reason, as you get low expense ratios and great tax efficiency. These ETFs are unlikely to disappear, which can be a big problem with smaller issuers, especially if you are investing for the long run. On top of that, these ETFs have lots of liquidity. When you are finally ready to cash out a large amount, there will often be more than enough sell orders on the opposite side of the order book, meaning slippage is low."
BlackRock's iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) and iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV) offer exposure to dividend-focused, defensive stocks ahead of a potential market rotation. Falling interest rates and investor apprehension about the AI rally can drive demand toward dividend growers and international dividend payers. BlackRock ETFs provide low expense ratios, strong tax efficiency, long-term issuer stability, and high liquidity, reducing slippage when selling large positions. DGRO tracks the Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index, selects companies that consistently raise dividends, excludes unsustainable payout ratios, and weights holdings by annual dividend payments rather than market cap.
