DVYE vs EDOG

DVYEAiShares Emerging Markets Dividend ETF

EDOGCALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF

In short

DVYE Running since 2012, it ranks emerging-market stocks by indicated dividend yield and holds the top 100. That yield-first screen pulls the portfolio toward the value corners of EM rather than the mega-cap tech names, at 0.49% a year.

EDOG The Dogs of the Dow playbook, exported to emerging markets. EDOG's index hunts high-dividend stocks sector by sector rather than grabbing whatever corner of EM happens to yield most, then pays the income out quarterly.

Stated mandate

DVYE The Fund seeks to track an index of relatively high dividend-paying equities in emerging markets, providing exposure to dividend-focused emerging-market stocks.

EDOG EDOG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the S-Network Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs Index, which selects high-dividend stocks from emerging markets across sectors.

Why people hold it

• DVYE The index ranks EM stocks by indicated annual dividend yield and takes the top 100, with buffer rules that hold existing names in place instead of churning the roster each rebalance.ishares.comspglobal.com
• 0.49% with no waiver propping up the number, below the median fee in its category. Same sticker as EDIV at 0.49%.
• Listed since 2012 and now a billion-dollar-plus fund that tracks its index closely, one of the stronger implementations among EM dividend ETFs.
• Holds the stocks directly rather than using swaps, and sends income out to shareholders quarterly.ishares.com

• EDOG Sector-by-sector construction: the index picks high-dividend EM stocks across sectors, so the portfolio doesn't collapse into one yield-heavy industry.alpsfunds.com
• 0.60% a year, in line with the typical emerging-market dividend fund. Roughly 50 stocks, income paid quarterly.
• Running since 2014 as a plain 1940 Act index ETF: no leverage, no derivatives overlay, and a decade-plus of live results through real EM cycles.

Worth knowing

• DVYE Sorting by yield steers the book toward payers like financials and energy. Screening, buffering and weighting constraints trim the extremes, they do not erase the tilt.ishares.comspglobal.com
• About 100 stocks means one country or sector can move results more than in a broad cap-weighted EM fund, and payouts move with what those companies declare.
• Cheaper shelf-mates exist: DIEM charges 0.19% for a core dividend-tilt build, a gentler screen than the yield-ranked approach here.

• EDOG A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can run wider than in the category's giants, and bigger orders take more care to fill.
• Cheaper doors into EM dividends exist: DIEM charges 0.19% and EDIV 0.49% for the same broad job.
• A yield-first value screen tilts toward beaten-down names, and the fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital.alpsfunds.com
