Our read on EFAD

ETF.net Research

CThe dividend-aristocrat playbook with a passport: EFAD holds developed-market companies outside the US that have raised dividends at least 10 straight years, weighted equally so no single mega-cap steers the ship.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the MSCI EAFE Dividend Masters Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Strict door policy: holdings must have increased dividends every year for at least a decade, drawn from large and mid caps in developed markets outside the US and Canada.sec.govproshares.com
  2. 02Equal weighting, a 30% sector cap and roughly 80 names keep one giant or one sector from steering the portfolio.sec.gov
  3. 03Live since 2014, run as plain index replication, and it has tracked its benchmark closely. Pays quarterly.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  1. 01The 0.50% fee matches its cohort median but sits well above international dividend index rivals like VIGI (0.07%) and IGRO (0.15%).
  2. 02Thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than in the category's heavyweights.
  3. 03Built-in release valve: if fewer than 40 names clear the 10-year bar, shorter streaks get in, and one country may carry up to half the index weight.sec.gov
