Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I have to assume he was just showing only funds that start with A - C because it looks like Vanguard Dividend Growth VDIGX beat those listed and also the S + P for 3, 5 and 10 years. Its been my choice as largest fund holding a while now, with additional money waiting on sidelines for a bit lower level.
Part of the reason might be that strong healthy companies these days which enjoy speculative overbidding on their stock by greater fools don't think they have to give much of a dividend if at all (unless pressured by activist shareholders). So, dividend funds might find slim pickings and forced to hold some older staid companies that are not going to give these funds a stellar total return.
