Our read on EFAS
CEFAS skips the broad income net: it takes the 50 highest-yielding stocks in developed Europe, Australasia and the Far East, weights them equally, and resets once a year. A yield-first, concentrated take on international income, paid monthly.
EFAS seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance of the MSCI EAFE Top 50 Dividend Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is blunt: rank the developed-market EAFE universe by dividend yield, take the top 50, weight them equally. No cap-weighted dilution of the income screen.sec.gov
- Equal weighting plus an annual rebalance means a small Australian name carries the same load as a Swiss giant, tilting away from the mega-caps that anchor cap-weighted rivals.sec.gov
- Distributions land monthly, a cadence Global X has kept running since the fund launched in 2016.globalxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- 0.55% a year sits above the peer-group median of 0.50%, and it is several times what VYMI (0.07%) or SCHY (0.08%) charge for international dividend exposure.
- About 50 equal-weighted names is a narrow base, and a top-of-the-yield-table screen pulls in value-priced stocks, so single companies and sectors move the fund hard.sec.gov
- It trades thinly next to the category's heavyweights, which puts more weight on limit orders and the spread at the point of entry.
