Fund Details
Investment Thesis
IDV delivers the highest dividend yields available from developed international equity markets by selecting the 100 highest-yielding stocks from Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Canada. The resulting portfolio is heavily concentrated in sectors that structurally generate high dividends — European utilities, Australian banks, energy companies, and insurance groups. This creates a distinct value and income profile that complements growth-oriented international funds, providing current income that broad international ETFs like VEA or EFA cannot match.
Who It's For
Retirees and income investors who want to maximize current dividend yield from their international equity allocation. IDV is best used as a complement to broader international equity holdings rather than a replacement, as the high-yield focus creates sector concentration in utilities, banks, and energy. The 5%+ yield makes IDV one of the highest-income equity ETFs available, suitable for investors in distribution phase building a global income portfolio.
