Three Global Utilities ETFs with High Dividend Yields

I own shares of DBU, but the stated yield is misleading. The wisdomtree website, current as of 11/2, indicates a 3.87% distribution yield and a 5% net yield from its portfolio. Wisdom tree's yield is evidently a forward yield. Yahoo's large yield is trailing twelve month which includes a large distribution from last December. That distribution appears to be an annual distribution, and will not likely be repeated this year, unless some large capital gains were to be distributed. It will definitely not be available in the form of dividend income.
