ETF Focus: iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV)

iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV)

Excerpt:

The iShares International Select Dividend ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend paying equities in non-U.S. developed markets.

Comment: IDV. What I like about it (we have in an IRA):

• 4.56% dividend yield
• Growth of 8.9% YTD
• Exposure to foreign stocks without foreign tax withholding (which is complicated at tax time)
• Diversification w 100+ foreign stocks
• Most of the foreign stocks are not available with an ADR and would be difficult for me to invest in.
• Large Cap / Value style
