Broadly speaking, developed market international equities and related ETFs have been a source of frustration for investors for awhile. Over the past three years, the MSCI EAFE Index returned barely more than a third of what the S&P 500 delivered.
Launched on 05/07/2014, the WisdomTree International Hedged Quality Dividend Growth ETF (IHDG) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Broad Developed World ETFs category of the market.
IHDG offers exposure to developed markets outside the U.S. with currency hedging. The ETF focuses on companies with dividends and growth profiles, overweight in consumer cyclical and healthcare sectors. Despite underperformance compared to U.S. indexes, IHDG has outperformed unhedged peers, delivering reduced volatility over time.
