The short version
Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock ETF (TPHD) tracks the Victory US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted BRI Index. That index holds 100 high-yielding large US stocks and gives calmer stocks bigger weights. A faith-based screen removes companies tied to alcohol, tobacco, gambling, abortion or pornography. The screen costs extra: the fund charges 0.52% a year, compared with 0.35% for CDL, a VictoryShares fund with a similar name and approach.

How it works
TPHD tracks the Victory US Large Cap High Dividend Volatility Weighted BRI Index, a rules-based index built by the fund's sub-adviser. The starting list is the 500 largest US companies that had positive earnings over the past 12 months. Timothy Plan, the adviser, then sends a list of companies that fail its BRI screen. These include businesses involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, abortion, pornography or what it calls anti-family entertainment. Those companies are removed. The 100 highest-yielding stocks that remain make up the index.
Most index funds size each holding by the company's market value. This index sizes holdings by volatility instead: how much each stock's price moved day to day over the last 180 trading days. Steadier stocks get bigger weights. As of June 30, 2026, that put utilities such as Alliant Energy, Evergy and WEC Energy Group at the top, each near 1.7% of assets. The top 10 holdings made up only 15.9% of the fund. The index is rebuilt every April and October, and no sector can exceed 25%.
The fund tries to hold every stock in the index in roughly the same proportions. It is passive, so it does not make defensive moves when markets fall. If a holding is later found to break the screen, the fund sells it only at the next rebalancing. The prospectus lists portfolio turnover of 49%.
What it really costs
- TPHD charges 0.52% a year, versus an average of 0.45% for the similar funds below (6th of 9, cheapest first).
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $53 in the first year and $653 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPHD | $53 | $167 | $291 | $653 |
In a retirement portfolio
It pays monthly from 100 dividend-paying stocks, but its 1.92% trailing yield is modest and it is still an all-stock fund.
TPHD's trailing 12-month yield was 1.92% as of October 27, 2026, paid monthly. Monthly payments fit a regular spending schedule, but the yield is modest for a dividend fund. Its lean toward steady utilities did not protect it in the COVID crash. It fell 41.3% from February 20 to March 23, 2020, and took about nine and a half months to recover. In 2022 it dropped 16.5% from its peak and needed about 14 months to get back. Even so, 2022 as a calendar year ended down just 1.9%, its worst full year. Anyone drawing income during drops like these might have had to cash out shares at low prices. The fund launched in 2019, so it has no 2008 record. It costs 0.52% a year, or $53 in the first year on $10,000 under the SEC's standard example. Past results don't predict future ones, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Dividend investors who want a fund that excludes alcohol, tobacco, gambling, abortion and pornography under Timothy Plan's faith-based BRI screen.
- People who prefer monthly payouts. The fund paid $0.84 per share over the 12 months to October 27, 2026.
- Investors who like broad spread: 100 stocks, none above about 1.7% of assets as of June 30, 2026.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-focused investors. The 0.52% fee is above the 0.45% average for similar funds and CDL's 0.35%.
- Income seekers who need a high yield. The trailing yield was only 1.92% as of October 27, 2026.
- Anyone who can't tolerate steep drops. Despite its low-volatility weighting, it fell 41.3% in early 2020.

Questions investors ask
Does TPHD pay monthly dividends?
Yes. TPHD pays distributions monthly. Over the 12 months to October 27, 2026, it paid $0.84 per share, a trailing yield of 1.92%. Payments come from dividends on the fund's 100 stocks, so the amounts change from month to month. They are not guaranteed. The yield is lower than many investors might expect from a fund with "high dividend" in its name.
What's the difference between TPHD and CDL?
The main differences are cost and the faith-based screen. CDL, a VictoryShares fund, follows a high-dividend, volatility-weighted approach similar to TPHD's. TPHD's index also removes companies that fail Timothy Plan's BRI screen. As of June 30, 2026, the two funds' holdings overlapped by 32%. CDL charges 0.35% a year, while TPHD charges 0.52%. As of October 27, 2026, CDL returned 18.9% over one year and 19.6% a year over three years. TPHD returned 14.5% and 16.6%.
What does BRI mean in TPHD's index?
BRI is Timothy Plan's faith-based screen. Timothy Plan, the adviser, gives the index provider a list of companies to exclude. These include firms involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, abortion, pornography, or what it calls anti-family entertainment or unbiblical lifestyles. The adviser can also exclude other companies it finds offensive to traditional Judeo-Christian values. The prospectus warns that a narrower stock list may make the fund riskier than broader funds.
Is TPHD good for retirement income?
It may suit retirees who want monthly income and a values-based screen, with some trade-offs. The trailing yield was 1.92% as of October 27, 2026, and the fee is 0.52% a year. Its low-volatility weighting did not prevent a 41.3% drop in early 2020, which took about nine and a half months to recover. Investors drawing income during a downturn like that might have to cash out shares at low prices.
How has TPHD performed since it launched?
It has trailed both its own index and a broad value benchmark. As of December 31, 2025, the fund returned 8.19% over one year, 10.67% a year over five years and 9.11% a year since its April 2019 launch. Its index returned 8.8%, 11.29% and 9.69% over the same periods. The Russell 1000 Value Index returned 15.91%, 11.33% and 10.26%. Its worst calendar year was 2022, down 1.88%.
