FIDIAFidelity International High Dividend ETF

VYMIAVanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF

In short

FIDI A rules-based hunt for dividend payers outside the US: roughly 120 developed-market names, quarterly cash, and a 0.18% fee that undercuts most of the international-dividend shelf.

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

FIDI The fund seeks investment returns that generally track, before fees and expenses, the Fidelity International High Dividend Index. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in index securities or related depositary receipts.

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

FIDI Costs 0.18% a year against a 0.50% median for international dividend screens, so more of the income stays in the account.
Built to shadow the Fidelity International High Dividend Index, with at least 80% of assets in index names or their depositary receipts. Tracking has been close.fidelity.com
Pays quarterly from about 120 developed-market payers: a screened shortlist, not a sweep of every stock that happens to yield.
Running since 2018 and one of the stronger implementations in its international-dividend peer group.

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

FIDI Cheap, not cheapest. VYMI (0.07%) and SCHY (0.08%) charge less for their own take on overseas dividends.
Moderately traded rather than a household-name giant, so spreads and limit orders deserve attention at the desk.
Developed markets only. Emerging-market dividend payers sit outside the mandate, and the payout arrives in foreign currencies before conversion.fidelity.com

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.
