I have to admit, determining who is distributing dividends quarterly, semi-annually or annually is more difficult than in years past. That’s because you have ETF families like WisdomTree that shifted from annual payouts to quarterly distributions.
Nevertheless, there was an enthusiastic response to yesterday’s feature on capitalizing on large, year-end dividend payments. So I decided to hone in on 8 foreign ETFs (7 foreign, 1 global) that might be worth pursuing; that is, if you were thinking of buying one of these ETFs in 2009, the year-end income stream provides a bit more incentive.

what's about TKF - Turkey's ETF? It had pretty good distributions in the past.
The main motivation to purchase and emerging market ETF should be capital appreciation because if you're looking for dividends, there's many other better avenues.
Your analysis is valid, I'm just not sure if it would affect investment decisions much with regards to ETFs.
