IGRO: Finding Value In Foreign Dividend Growers
IGRO focuses on owning high-quality dividend-growth companies domiciled outside of the US. I see value in the fund given its low 14x P/E, while the sector breakdown is diversified. With bullish seasonality in play, I highlight key price levels to monitor.
IGRO: Why It Is A Good Time To Buy An International Dividend Growth ETF
A diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks is likely to perform well when interest rates are lowered. International stock valuations are not as inflated as U.S. stocks, offering the potential for more affordable purchases. The healthcare sector provides stability and dividend payments, making it appealing during market volatility, and it is the second-largest sector in IGRO.
IGRO: Not The Best Fund For Dividend Growth Investors
The iShares International Dividend Growth ETF owns a portfolio of international dividend growth stocks, with a concentration in Canada, Japan, and Switzerland. IGRO had a rough ride in 2022 but has since recovered, though its return is still lower than the S&P 500 index. IGRO's fund price may be impacted by currency rates and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.

Overview
The fund represented focuses on replicating the performance of a specific international equities index characterized by its constituents' consistent dividend growth. It meticulously selects its investments, aiming to represent the index's dividend dollars weighted performance. A significant commitment is seen in its strategy to allocate at least 80% of its assets towards the securities that comprise the index alongside investments that share similar economic characteristics. This approach underscores the fund’s dedication to closely mirroring the index’s performance while potentially offering investors the benefits of international dividend growth.
Products and Services
- Index Tracking Investments - The fund invests primarily in the component securities of the index, ensuring that it closely follows the performance of its benchmark, which is selected for its dividend growth characteristics. This forms the core of the fund's investment strategy, aiming to provide investors with exposure to international equities known for their consistent history of growing dividends.
- Economically Similar Investments - Beyond direct index constituents, the fund may allocate up to 80% of its assets in investments with economic characteristics substantially identical to those of the index components. This flexibility allows the fund to capture the essence of the index's performance, while also potentially leveraging opportunities for enhanced returns through similar securities not included in the index.
- Derivative and Cash Holdings - To manage risk and seek to enhance returns, the fund has the capability to invest up to 20% of its assets in derivatives (such as futures, options, and swap contracts), as well as cash and cash equivalents. These instruments may be utilized for hedging purposes, to more effectively manage the portfolio’s exposure to international markets, or to take advantage of specific investment opportunities without straying from the fund's primary focus on dividend growth.
