CMost international income funds stop at dividends. FYLD screens developed-market companies returning cash three ways: dividends, share buybacks and debt paydown, then leans toward the cheap ones.
Stated mandate
The fund targets international companies that return cash to investors through dividends, share buybacks, and debt reduction, collectively described as shareholder yield.
