Our read on VIDI
BMost international funds let market cap decide how much of each country you own. VIDI flips the order: its index ranks countries first on governance and fiscal health (government debt, spending, savings), then picks the stocks inside them.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Vident international equity index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Country-first design: the index leans toward countries scoring well on governance markers such as lower government debt, lower government spending and higher savings rates.videntam.com
- Developed and emerging markets in one ticket, with stocks inside each country screened on quality, valuation and price trend.sec.gov
- Running since 2013, so these country-ranking rules have been tested through real market cycles rather than a backtest.
- Spread broadly across countries, regions and individual stocks instead of leaning on a handful of mega-caps. Pays quarterly.videntam.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.61%, it costs more than systematic international rivals like DFIC (0.22%), AVDE (0.23%) and JIRE (0.24%), though it sits near the middle of the actively run pack.
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
- A country-ranked portfolio can look very different from a cap-weighted international index, and that gap cuts both ways.videntam.com
