International investing and diversification away from large-cap Tech is recommended at this point in the cycle. Consider iShares International Select Dividend ETF for exposure to developed market equities with a 5.9% yield. IDV offers well-diversified sector allocation, geographic diversification, and access to large international companies with a history of paying dividends.
With exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generating solid performances over the long run, it stands to reason that investors should consider income-generating ETFs to buy. Basically, all the benefits associated with these wide-canvas plays for capital gains apply to dividends as well.
