ETFs to Consider for a Likely August Slump
With the possibility of S&P 500's momentum fading and equity outflows mounting, defensive ETFs like VIG, XLP and VXX draw investor focus.
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.

Overview
The company is an investment fund that focuses on generating returns by investing primarily in a diverse portfolio of high dividend-paying companies spread across Europe, the Pacific, Asia, and Canada (EPAC). Targeting at least 80% investment in the securities that make up its underlying index and in assets that mirror the economic characteristics of those securities, the fund aims to leverage the growth and income potential within the EPAC region. By concentrating on companies that have a strong history of dividend payment, the fund offers investors an opportunity to gain exposure to international markets while potentially earning regular income from dividends. The underlying index, which the fund tracks, is designed to measure the performance of top dividend-paying companies, providing a benchmark against which the fund's performance can be evaluated.
