DGRECWisdomTree Emerging Markets Quality Dividend Growth Fund

DIEMBFranklin Emerging Market Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF

In short

DGRE Most emerging-market dividend funds hunt the fattest yields. DGRE hunts profitable companies with growing earnings that happen to pay dividends, and charges roughly half the typical fee in its group.

DIEM Most emerging-market dividend funds hunt the fattest yields. DIEM starts from a broad EM benchmark and leans toward payers instead, keeping the market's shape intact, for a fraction of what its dividend-focused rivals charge.

Stated mandate

DGRE The Fund seeks income and capital appreciation and invests primarily in emerging-market dividend-paying common stocks with growth characteristics.

DIEM The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Morningstar Emerging Markets Dividend Enhanced Select Index.

Why people hold it

  • DGRE 0.32% a year, against a 0.60% median for emerging-market dividend screens. It also undercuts WisdomTree's own DEM (0.63%) and DGS (0.58%).
  • The screen is forward-looking: rank emerging-market dividend payers on profitability and expected earnings growth, then weight holdings by dividends paid.wisdomtree.comwisdomtree.com 2
  • Roughly 300 names spread across emerging markets, cash paid quarterly, and a live record dating to 2013.
  • DIEM At 0.19% a year it's the cheapest fund in its emerging-market dividend cohort, roughly a third of the group's median fee.
  • Tilt, not lurch: the index takes a broad emerging-market parent benchmark and optimizes for higher dividend yield while limiting expected tracking error back to it.yahoo.comfranklintempleton.com
  • Roughly 200 holdings spread across emerging markets, with income paid quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DGRE A smaller, thinly traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the biggest emerging-market dividend names.
  • Quality and growth come before raw yield here, so income can sit lighter than yield-maximizing peers like DEM and DVYE.
  • Dividend weighting with country and sector caps pushes the country mix well away from a cap-weighted emerging-market benchmark.wisdomtree.comwisdomtree.com 2
  • DIEM Thinly traded next to the category's household names, so spreads can run wider and larger orders need more care.
  • It launched in 2016 under a different name and mandate; the dividend-tilt index arrived in 2022, so the earliest track record reflects a different strategy.cbonds.com
  • The income lean is bounded by design. Staying close to the parent index means less yield punch than funds that screen only for the highest payers.yahoo.com
