IDV: Yield Without Quality
The iShares International Select Dividend ETF offers a high yield of 5.17%, but long-term returns have been underwhelming, with just a 3.56% CAGR since 2007. IDV's top holdings are in structurally challenged sectors like European telecoms and mining, which tend to be poor long-term performers. The ETF's 48% turnover rate and 0.49% expense ratio make it less attractive for long-term investors.

IDV: Long Term Risk Of Chasing Only Dividend Yield
iShares International Select Dividend ETF warrants a hold rating due to sub-optimal qualities compared to peer funds, including high fees and weaker fundamentals. IDV's top holdings have high payout ratios, leading to lower dividend sustainability and growth compared to competitors like VYMI. Despite strong recent performance, IDV's high fees and declining dividend yield make it less attractive than VYMI, which offers better growth and sustainability.
