IQDFBNorthern Trust International Quality Dividend ETF

VYMIAVanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF

In short

IQDF A dividend fund that ignores dividend history. Northern Trust scores roughly 300 non-US large and mid caps on its own Dividend Quality Score, chasing payouts the balance sheet can support, and pays 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

IQDF The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Northern Trust International Quality Dividend Index.

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

IQDF The screen looks forward, not backward: a Dividend Quality Score built on profitability and quality metrics, instead of a streak of past raises that can stop any year.flexshares.com
Transparent plumbing: names are drawn from Northern Trust's own index of non-US large and mid caps, then weighted toward the strongest dividend-quality scorers.sec.gov
Running since 2013, and the designated survivor of the lineup: it was the acquiring fund when FlexShares folded its defensive international dividend sibling in.sec.gov
A billion-dollar-plus fund that sits in the upper half of its international dividend peer group on our review.

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

IQDF Costs 0.47% net of a waiver through March 1, 2027 (0.49% gross), near the category median, while index rivals VYMI (0.07%) and SCHY (0.08%) charge less.
Moderately traded rather than a category heavyweight, so the spread you pay at the moment of trade matters more.
A quality-and-yield screen shifts the sector and country mix away from a plain international index, so results can diverge from the broad market.flexshares.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.
