Our read on SDIV
CGlobal X's original yield-chaser: a 2011-vintage fund that scours the world for the highest-yielding stocks, holds them in one basket, and pays out monthly. Blunt instrument, clear purpose.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Solactive Global SuperDividend Index.
Why people hold it
- One mandate, no hedging: it tracks the Solactive Global SuperDividend Index, a pure yield screen across global equity markets rather than a quality or dividend-growth tilt.
- Pays monthly, not quarterly, which suits investors who want income arriving on a regular schedule.
- Running since 2011, it is one of the longest-tenured high-yield funds around, now a multi-billion-dollar portfolio spread over roughly 110 names.
- Trades with steady daily volume, so getting in and out is generally straightforward for retail-sized orders.
Worth knowing
- At 0.58% it costs more than the cohort median and well above plain international dividend index funds like VYMI (0.07%) and SCHY (0.08%).
- A screen built purely on yield tends to land on smaller, more stressed companies, so the ride is bumpier than dividend-growth strategies in the same aisle.
- Global by design: returns pick up foreign-market and currency moves alongside the dividend stream.
