DEWCWisdomTree Global High Dividend Fund

DIVIAFranklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF

In short

DEW Most high-dividend funds in this corner of the market stop at the US border. DEW doesn't: one ticket buys the top-yielding slice of US, developed and emerging markets, weighted by the dividend dollars companies actually pay.

DIVI A tilt, not a screen: DIVI optimizes a broad developed-markets ex-North America index toward higher yield while limiting drift from that parent. Core international shape, income lean, 0.09% a year.

Stated mandate

DEW The fund seeks to track high-dividend-yielding companies across U.S., developed international, and emerging equity markets.

DIVI The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-North America Dividend Enhanced Select Index. Its index methodology seeks higher dividend yield than the parent index while maintaining core exposure to developed markets outside North America.

Why people hold it

  • DEW One ticket spans US, developed international and emerging high-yielders. The cohort's cheapest leaders (VYMI, SCHY, IGRO) are ex-US only, making DEW the rarer whole-world version.wisdomtree.com
  • Weights companies by the cash dividends they pay rather than market cap, spread across roughly 700 stocks, so no single payer dominates the income stream.wisdomtree.com
  • Listed in 2006, one of the longer-running global dividend ETFs, and it pays quarterly.
  • DIVI Costs 0.09% a year, while the median fund in its international-dividend cohort charges closer to 0.50%.
  • The index takes a broad developed ex-North America benchmark and optimizes it for higher yield while limiting expected tracking error to that parent. Income lean, core shape.sec.gov
  • Tracks its index closely, among the strongest implementations in its peer group.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund holding about 80 developed-market names, paying distributions quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DEW At 0.58% it charges more than the cohort median of 0.50%, and several times the cheapest ex-US dividend peers, VYMI and SCHY, which sit near 0.07%.
  • Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so bid-ask spreads and order type matter more here than in the category's giants.
  • History before June 2009 reflects a European equity income mandate; the global high-dividend strategy dates from then.wisdomtree.com
  • DIVI The tilt is mild by design: the index caps how far it can drift from its parent, so it reaches for less yield than funds built on hard high-yield screens.sec.gov
  • Cheaper options sit in the same cohort (VYMI at 0.07%, SCHY at 0.08%), so the fee edge is over the category median, not over the largest index shops.
  • Today's strategy dates to 2022, when the fund was renamed from Franklin LibertyQ International Equity Hedged ETF, so its 2016-onward record covers a different mandate.sec.gov
