DTHCWisdomTree International High Dividend Fund

VYMIAVanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF

In short

DTH One of the original international high-dividend ETFs, live since 2006. It rents out a wide bench of developed-market payers outside the US and Canada, and pays shareholders quarterly.

VYMI Most international dividend funds hold a hundred-odd developed-market names. VYMI casts a far wider net: roughly 1,600 high-yielders across developed and emerging markets outside the US, at seven basis points.

Stated mandate

DTH The fund seeks to track the investment results of high-dividend-yielding companies in developed markets outside the United States and Canada.

VYMI VYMI seeks to track the FTSE All-World ex US High Dividend Yield Index through passive sampling, targeting international stocks forecast to have above-average dividend yields.

Why people hold it

DTH A 2006 original. It has run this same overseas high-yield mandate through multiple market cycles, not a recent launch chasing the income theme.
Roughly 600 holdings across developed markets outside the US and Canada, so no single payer or country carries the income load.
Zero US and Canada exposure by design, making it a clean bolt-on beside a domestic dividend sleeve rather than a duplicate.
It hugs its stated index (WTDHYE) about as tightly as index funds get, and distributions land quarterly.

VYMI 0.07% a year, a fraction of the typical international dividend fund's fee and a shade under screened rivals like SCHY (0.08%) and IGRO (0.15%).
Roughly 1,600 stocks across developed and emerging markets ex-US, so no single name, sector or country carries the income load.vanguard.com
Samples the FTSE All-World ex US High Dividend Yield Index and has stayed unusually close to it, among the tightest trackers in its peer group.
Live since 2016, now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and it pays out quarterly.

Worth knowing

DTH At 0.58%, the fee sits above the cohort median of 0.50%, and the cheap giants undercut it hard: VYMI at 0.07%, SCHW peer SCHY at 0.08%.
A yield-first screen buys whatever pays most, which can tilt the mix toward a handful of value sectors and countries.
Mid-sized and moderately traded rather than a flagship, so spreads can be wider than the category's largest names.

VYMI No currency hedge. Dividends and prices arrive in foreign currencies, and exchange-rate swings show up in dollar results either way.vanguard.com
The emerging-market sleeve adds political, liquidity and currency risk that developed-only dividend funds sidestep.vanguard.com
Screening on forecast yield tilts toward value and cyclical names, a different ride than dividend-growth peers like VIGI and IGRO.
