Our read on DEW

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost high-dividend funds in this corner of the market stop at the US border. DEW doesn't: one ticket buys the top-yielding slice of US, developed and emerging markets, weighted by the dividend dollars companies actually pay.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track high-dividend-yielding companies across U.S., developed international, and emerging equity markets.

Why people hold it

  • One ticket spans US, developed international and emerging high-yielders. The cohort's cheapest leaders (VYMI, SCHY, IGRO) are ex-US only, making DEW the rarer whole-world version.wisdomtree.com
  • Weights companies by the cash dividends they pay rather than market cap, spread across roughly 700 stocks, so no single payer dominates the income stream.wisdomtree.com
  • Listed in 2006, one of the longer-running global dividend ETFs, and it pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.58% it charges more than the cohort median of 0.50%, and several times the cheapest ex-US dividend peers, VYMI and SCHY, which sit near 0.07%.
  • Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so bid-ask spreads and order type matter more here than in the category's giants.
  • History before June 2009 reflects a European equity income mandate; the global high-dividend strategy dates from then.wisdomtree.com
