Our read on EMDV

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost emerging-market dividend funds hunt the fattest yields. EMDV goes the other way: it tracks an index built around companies with long, unbroken streaks of dividend increases, and holds roughly 60 of them.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Dividend Masters Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • Growth-of-payout screen, not a yield ranking: the MSCI Emerging Markets Dividend Masters Index rewards companies that keep raising dividends.
  • The 0.60% fee sits right at the peer-group median, so the streak discipline costs no more than the yield-chasing alternatives.
  • Plain vanilla plumbing: a 1940 Act index fund, roughly 60 stocks, pays quarterly. No leverage, no derivatives overlay.
  • Same index, same mandate since the 2016 launch, from a ProShares dividend-growers lineup built on this streak methodology.

Worth knowing

  • A small, thinly traded fund. The bid-ask spread is part of your cost here, and it weighs on our overall read versus bigger rivals.
  • Cheaper emerging-market dividend exposure exists in the same peer group: DIEM charges 0.19%.
  • Demanding a long increase streak narrows the field to about 60 names, so country and sector mix can look nothing like broad emerging markets.
