Our read on DIEM

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost emerging-market dividend funds hunt the fattest yields. DIEM starts from a broad EM benchmark and leans toward payers instead, keeping the market's shape intact, for a fraction of what its dividend-focused rivals charge.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Morningstar Emerging Markets Dividend Enhanced Select Index.

Why people hold it

  • At 0.19% a year it's the cheapest fund in its emerging-market dividend cohort, roughly a third of the group's median fee.
  • Tilt, not lurch: the index takes a broad emerging-market parent benchmark and optimizes for higher dividend yield while limiting expected tracking error back to it.yahoo.comfranklintempleton.com
  • Roughly 200 holdings spread across emerging markets, with income paid quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the category's household names, so spreads can run wider and larger orders need more care.
  • It launched in 2016 under a different name and mandate; the dividend-tilt index arrived in 2022, so the earliest track record reflects a different strategy.cbonds.com
  • The income lean is bounded by design. Staying close to the parent index means less yield punch than funds that screen only for the highest payers.yahoo.com
