Our read on DLS

ETF.net Research

In short

CDLS goes where most international dividend funds don't: about 1,000 small companies across developed markets outside the US and Canada, screened for the dividends they pay. Running since 2006.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • About 1,000 small-cap dividend payers from developed markets outside the US and Canada, a corner most international income funds skip entirely.
  • Deep, spread-out portfolio: no single name dominates, which softens the blow when one holding stumbles.
  • Tracks the WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index closely, doing the job on the tin. Live since 2006 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • 0.58% a year is above the typical international dividend ETF, and multiples of large-cap rivals like VYMI (0.07%) and SCHY (0.08%). Small-cap research abroad isn't cheap.
  • Thinly traded for its size, so bid-ask spreads can widen, especially outside overlapping market hours.
  • Foreign small caps move more sharply than global blue chips, and unhedged currency swings add a second source of bumpiness.
