IDVO: Diversifying Your Income With International Exposure
Summary
- US markets have performed strongly, but diversifying with international exposure like Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF can hedge against potential US market downturns.
- IDVO offers a 5.9% dividend yield, monthly distributions, and diverse sector and country allocations, making it ideal for income-seeking investors.
- IDVO's covered call strategy helps to support its dividend but caps upside growth, making it less ideal in strong bull markets compared to other ETFs.
- Despite concerns about dividend sustainability due to return of capital, IDVO remains a solid choice for diversifying away from US market concentration.
Financial analyst by day and a seasoned investor by passion, I've been involved in the world of investing for over 10 years and honed my skills in analyzing lucrative opportunities within the market.I specialize in uncovering strategies to utilize various investment vehicles - seeking out high quality dividend stocks, and other assets that offer potential for long term-growth that pack a serious punch for bill-paying potential. I use myself as an example that with a solid base of classic dividend growth stocks, sprinkling in some Business Development Companies, REITs, and Closed End Funds can be a highly efficient way to boost your investment income while still capturing a total return that follows traditional index funds. I create a hybrid system between growth and income and manage to still capture a total return that is on par with the S&P.After humble beginnings sharing my knowledge on Instagram (@thegamingdividend), I have decided to further expand my passion sharing insights here on SA.My money will always be where my mouth is; I am a strong proponent in the FIRE movement and have been perfecting this craft so that I can inspire the average 9-5'er like myself, that early retirement is within reach without compromising the safety of your portfolio.
