Our read on DOL
BThe 2006-vintage WisdomTree international dividend fund, rebranded in 2025 with a wider map: its index now treats Korea, Taiwan and Poland as developed, and weights holdings by the cash dividends companies pay rather than by market cap.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree True Developed International Index. It uses passive indexing and generally representative sampling.
Why people hold it
- Dividend-weighted, not cap-weighted: position sizes come from the cash dividends companies actually pay, so weight follows payouts rather than share prices.wisdomtree.comwisdomtree.com
- Wider developed map than most rivals. Korea, Taiwan and Poland count as developed here, putting names like TSMC and Samsung inside a developed ex-US sleeve.wisdomtree.com
- Passively run since 2006 on representative sampling, and it has tracked its index closely, placing it in the upper half of its international dividend peer group.
- Roughly 300 large dividend payers, all screened for an actual cash payout, with distributions passed along quarterly.wisdomtree.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.48% it sits just under the peer median, but index rivals go far cheaper: VYMI charges 0.07% and SCHY 0.08%.
- Trades lighter than the category's biggest funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you trade.
- Ex-U.S. and ex-Canada by design, and every holding must pay a dividend, so non-payers and Canadian blue chips are absent from the lineup.wisdomtree.com
