IDVYDFirst Trust International Rising Dividend Achievers ETF

VYMIAVanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF

In short

IDVY First Trust points its Rising Dividend Achievers screen overseas: developed-market payers picked for dividend growth and profitability, not the fattest yields. A young, small fund priced above the index giants in its lane.

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

IDVY The fund seeks to track the Nasdaq International Rising Dividend AchieversTM Index, investing at least 80% of net assets in index securities through an indexing approach.

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

IDVY Tracks the Nasdaq International Rising Dividend Achievers Index, which screens developed-market dividend payers on growth and profitability rather than headline yield alone.ftportfolios.com
Simple plumbing: a 1940 Act index fund that puts at least 80% of net assets into index securities, so the published index is what you actually own.ftportfolios.com
The basket is the strongest part of the package. Portfolio construction holds up well against the international dividend group even where cost and scale trail it.

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

IDVY At 0.60% a year it runs above the 0.50% cohort median and several times the big index rivals: VYMI at 0.07%, SCHY at 0.08%, IGRO at 0.15%.
Launched in 2026 with a small asset base and light trading, so spreads can run wider than at scaled peers and there is little history to judge it by.
Dividends arrive once or twice a year rather than quarterly, so the income shows up in a couple of lumps.

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.
