Our read on EFAD

ETF.net Research

In short

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

  • Strict 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
  • Equal weighting, a 30% sector cap and roughly 80 names keep one giant or one sector from steering the portfolio.sec.gov
  • Live since 2014, run as plain index replication, and it has tracked its benchmark closely. Pays quarterly.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  • The 0.50% fee matches its cohort median but sits well above international dividend index rivals like VIGI (0.07%) and IGRO (0.15%).
  • Thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than in the category's heavyweights.
  • Built-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
