I don't own Div Growth, but WRT "steadier" they look a lot alike to me. You might have to go to a balanced fund to have a single fund appreciably steadier (risk 3 vs 4 like TBM, DG or any stock fund), but you could reduce your TBM allocation and increase fixed income and have the same effect on your portfolio. I don't focus or worry much about the volatility of each fund I hold, what I care about is the volatility of the portfolio overall. YMMV
