DIVI: Possibly A Low-Fee Substitution For EFA, But Don't Be Overenthusiastic About It
Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF offers exposure to developed world equities, ignoring the U.S. and Canada. In the current iteration, DIVI is heavy in Japanese, UK, and Australian stocks. Financials and industrials are key sectors. By international dividend ETF standards, its expense ratio is wafer-thin at just 11 bps.
DIVI: Lower Interest Rates And Weakening Dollar Could Fuel International Equities
DIVI is a buy due to its broad diversification, solid capital appreciation, and dividend income from international equities. Compared to leading peer international dividend funds, DIVI has the lowest fees and strongest performance when considering capital appreciation and dividend yield. International equities are expected to perform well due to forecast interest rate cuts, relative currency strengths, and attractive valuations compared to U.S. stocks.
