CGDV was launched on February 22, 2022, and is issued and managed by Capital Group Companies Inc., headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with assets under management exceeding $23 billion, a net expense ratio of 0.33%, and quarterly dividend distributions. In December 2025, Lincoln Financial Group introduced the first fixed indexed annuity (FIA) crediting strategy benchmarked to CGDV through its Lincoln OptiBlend product, marking a strategic expansion into the annuity market and leveraging the long-standing partnership between Lincoln Financial and Capital Group since 1987 to offer investors access to CGDV's active management alongside downside protection.
