- Tuesday, April 16, 8:30 PM FlexShares lists three dividend-focus equity ETFs today that provide exposure to long-term growth potential of international securities and deliver dividend income. International Quality Dividend Fund (IQDF), International Quality Dividend Defensive Fund (IQDE) and International Quality Dividend Dynamic Fund (IQDY) have an expense ratio of 0.47% each, in line with counterparts DWX (0.45%), DOL (0.48%), DVYA (0.49%) and IDV (0.50%).

- Monday, February 11, 10:39 AM Stocks outdo bonds as the 1.6K companies in the MSCI World Index yield 2.7% vs. 2.6% on the BAML Global Corporate Index, according to Bloomberg. Yielding just 6.1% the gap of junk bonds over equities is at its lowest since 1995. "Increasingly, dynamic capital allocators are being forced to consider equities," says one bullish strategist. 1 Comment
- Tuesday, January 1, 10:52 AM Small-cap dividend ETFs (DES, DLS, DFE, DGS, DFJ, EES) led the pack in 2012 performance domestically and globally, followed by mid-caps (DON, DIM, EZM) and large-caps (DLN, DOL, EPS). Among strategy-based ETFs, it was preferreds (PGF, PFF) and buybacks (PKW) that outperformed. See here for full dividend ETF performance data. 2 Comments [Dividends, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 7, 2012, 3:05 PM Strubel Investment notes the horrid record of managements using cash for buybacks or M&A. Buybacks are simple - companies tend to do them when the share price is high (JPMorgan a classic example: It suspended purchases after the CIO loss with the stock near $30, and will rev them up again next year in the 40's). The top tax rates for dividends would have to rise to 70-80% to make them less valuable than the alternatives. 4 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 11:25 AM Why does high-yield in reference to bonds signal greater risk to investors, but high-dividend yield in reference to equities does not, wonders a fund strategist. When it comes to dividend ETFs, it pays to consider total return first, writes Paul Britt, as the yield and performance can vary ... widely. 2 Comments
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 12:36 PM "An attempt to quantify ... a qualitative process," is how Morningstar's Josh Peters describes the creation of the Dividend Yield Focus Index. Most dividend indexes, he says, are entirely backward looking. Instead, Peters looks for an economic moat to protect against a dividend ever being cut. Thus far, it's working: The ETF benchmarked to the index (HDV) is outperforming DVY by a wide margin since the April 2011 launch. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 9:13 PM Currently weighting U.S. telecoms and utilities at zero in his dividend stock portfolio, Pimco's Brad Kinkelaar notes both sectors are trading at near off-the-chart premiums to their average relative multiple. Dividend investors would do better to look overseas, he says, where one can find companies that are growing, paying good dividends, and trading at better value. An excellent presentation. 7 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Saturday, October 6, 2012, 8:15 AM Despite a Dividend 100 Index up 10% in 2012, dividend bargains are there to be had, especially if you look outside the U.S., Brett Arends suggests. And managers point to three attractive sectors in particular: pharmaceuticals, big energy and telecoms. Individual issues like JNJ, T, VZ and some global oil stocks look good, as well as ETFs like IDV, though it may be financials-heavy. Comment! [Quick Ideas, Energy, Healthcare]
- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 3:06 PM Lagging far behind for much of the year, an international (developed markets) dividend fund (IDV) has pulled ahead of the popular domestic DVY (while sporting a higher yield as well). An emerging markets dividend fund (DEM) continues to trail both. 2 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, August 23, 2012, 4:35 PM "Under the hood analysis" is a must for dividend ETF investors, says WisdomTree's Jeremy Schwartz. Screens at many funds will leave out Apple, for instance, which is now the 3rd largest dividend payer in the U.S. Other techs - now the fastest dividend growers around - face the same issue. Don't forget international exposure, where firms are more likely to pay dividends and offer a higher yield. 3 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 13, 2012, 11:04 AM Just as with the U.S., dividends on emerging market stocks are the largest contributors to returns over time, and one popular EM dividend fund (DEM) has comfortably outpaced (with lower volatility as well) the MSCI Emerging Markets Fund (EEM) in the 5 years since its incpetion. Comment!
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 3:39 PM The bubble isn't in dividend payers, writes Tadas Viskanta, it's in calling dividends a bubble. Research going back a long ways shows dividends have consistently provdied a significant part of equity returns and the high payers outperform the market averages. Does this mean the stocks are bulletproof? Of course not, but "dividends are the ultimate fundamental." 2 Comments
- Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 1:00 PM The good times for dividend income - 402 of the S&P 500 are making payouts this year, the highest since 1999 - could end in 2013 if current law nearly tripling the tax rate on divvies to 43.4% isn't changed. Instead, look for the money to shift from payouts to buybacks, says Howard Silverblatt. 3 Comments
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 10:41 AM Index construction matters, says State Street in its in-depth look at Dividend ETFs (free registration required). The firm notes a combined investment in its U.S. (SDY), International (DWX), and Emerging Market (EDIV) dividend ETFs would have outperformed the broad market by more than 100 bps over the last 30 months.

- Friday, June 8, 2012, 12:31 PM Dividends may not be a free lunch, but WisdomTree research shows the highest quintile of payers outperformed the S&P 500 by 2.5%/year over the last half century, and with less beta. Even the 2nd highest quintile performed 2% better/year than the S&P. (a sampling) Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, June 7, 2012, 3:46 PM Seeing a huge surge of interest in "esoteric" investments (MLPs to name one) paying fat yields, one financial adviser sees the instruments approaching bubble territory. No such froth is evident in plain-vanilla dividend payers, VIG lagging the SPY for the last 2 years. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
