  • In Emerging Market ETFs, a Compelling Argument for WisdomTree's DEM [View article]
    Unfortunately the yield of the fund is nowhere near the yield of the index. This is something I have come to learn more about in the last few months. DEM paid $0.48 last december when the fund was trading near $50--so about 1%.

    Asset growth seems to be the thing with this. The fund collects divs throughout the year but then the asset growth of the fund means they have to pay out those divs over many more fund shares.

    DEM has been the best performer per your chart so the point about the div is not a reason to avoid but actually collecting 5% is a tall order.
