DWX- Is It Better Than VYMI?
DWX has witnessed price erosion to the tune of -43% since it got listed in 2008. It is enjoying something of a renaissance this year, outperforming global and US stocks by 2-3x. DWX which attempts to cover 100 high yielding non-US stocks from across the world employs some rigorous screening during the construction phase. We proceed to examine how well DWX stacks up against VYMI which follows a much simpler methodology in its efforts to cover a wider pool of international high-yielders.
DWX: An Underperforming Index With An ETF To Match
SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF has underperformed significantly, generating only a 23% total return since inception, making it a Strong Sell. The S&P International Dividend Opportunities Index, while not stellar, offers some resilience in down markets but still lags behind the S&P 500. Alternatives to DWX include individual international stocks with strong balance sheets, positive cash flow, and persistent dividend growth, such as TS, INFY, and ITRN.
