Our read on DVYA
CMost international dividend funds sprinkle across the whole developed world. This one stays in developed Asia/Pacific and holds about 50 of the region's higher-yielding names, tracking a Dow Jones index since 2012.
The Fund seeks to track an index of relatively high-dividend-paying equities in developed Asia/Pacific markets.
Why people hold it
- A pure developed Asia/Pacific dividend sleeve: roughly 50 higher-yielding names from the Dow Jones Asia/Pacific Select Dividend 50 Index, not a global fund where the region is a footnote.
- The 0.49% expense ratio sits just under the typical fee in its international dividend-screen peer group.
- The index screens for relatively high current payers rather than dividend growers, and the fund distributes quarterly.
- Running since 2012 under the iShares roof, so the strategy has a long live record through several market cycles.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the broad international dividend heavyweights.
- That 0.49% is several times what broad international dividend funds charge (VYMI 0.07%, SCHY 0.08%, DIVI 0.09%). The regional focus is what you pay up for.
- About 50 holdings inside one region: single-stock and single-country swings land harder, and unhedged foreign currency moves add to the ride.
