DOLBWisdomTree True Developed International Fund

IGROAiShares International Dividend Growth ETF

In short

DOL The 2006-vintage WisdomTree international dividend fund, rebranded in 2025 with a wider map: its index now treats Korea, Taiwan and Poland as developed, and weights holdings by the cash dividends companies pay rather than by market cap.

IGRO Dividend growth, not dividend yield, taken overseas. IGRO tracks a Morningstar index of non-US companies with a habit of raising their payouts, spread across roughly 500 names, for a fee that undercuts most of the international dividend shelf.

Stated mandate

DOL The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree True Developed International Index. It uses passive indexing and generally representative sampling.

IGRO The fund seeks to track an index of international stocks with a history of growing dividends, providing dividend-focused international equity exposure for income and long-term growth.

Why people hold it

  • DOL Dividend-weighted, not cap-weighted: position sizes come from the cash dividends companies actually pay, so weight follows payouts rather than share prices.wisdomtree.comwisdomtree.com 2
  • Wider developed map than most rivals. Korea, Taiwan and Poland count as developed here, putting names like TSMC and Samsung inside a developed ex-US sleeve.wisdomtree.com
  • Passively run since 2006 on representative sampling, and it has tracked its index closely, placing it in the upper half of its international dividend peer group.
  • Roughly 300 large dividend payers, all screened for an actual cash payout, with distributions passed along quarterly.wisdomtree.com
  • IGRO Costs 0.15% a year, well under the typical fee for an international dividend screen.
  • Does what the label says: it follows the Morningstar Global ex-US Dividend Growth Index closely, one of the tightest index-to-portfolio matches in its peer group.
  • Roughly 500 non-US payers, so no single dividend carries the fund. Cash goes out quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DOL At 0.48% it sits just under the peer median, but index rivals go far cheaper: VYMI charges 0.07% and SCHY 0.08%.
  • Trades lighter than the category's biggest funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you trade.
  • Ex-U.S. and ex-Canada by design, and every holding must pay a dividend, so non-payers and Canadian blue chips are absent from the lineup.wisdomtree.com
  • IGRO It trades thin next to heavyweights like VYMI, so limit orders and calmer mid-session trading matter more here.
  • The screen targets payout growth, not the fattest yields, so income tends to run lighter than yield-first international funds.
  • Cheaper neighbors exist: VIGI at 0.07% and SCHY at 0.08%, though each tracks a different index with a different holdings list.
