WisdomTree International High Dividend Fund

DTH

Market cap $506M

WisdomTree International High Dividend Fund receives a Hold rating due to inconsistent risk-adjusted returns and higher volatility versus peers. DTH offers strong short-term performance and a 3.97% yield, but lacks quality screening, raising the risk of yield traps and unpredictable long-term results. The fund's high expense ratio (0.58%) and low liquidity further diminish its appeal compared to alternatives like LVHI, which has better risk-adjusted returns.

DTH has outperformed the S&P 500 and VEU, but I downgrade to hold due to less compelling valuation and slowing earnings growth.

DTH's portfolio is value- and cyclical-heavy, with European banks and Energy overweight but minimal exposure to US tech leaders.
