DIVI ETF

Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF offers exposure to developed world equities, ignoring the U.S. and Canada. In the current iteration, DIVI is heavy in Japanese, UK, and Australian stocks. Financials and industrials are key sectors. By international dividend ETF standards, its expense ratio is wafer-thin at just 11 bps.

DIVI is a buy due to its broad diversification, solid capital appreciation, and dividend income from international equities. Compared to leading peer international dividend funds, DIVI has the lowest fees and strongest performance when considering capital appreciation and dividend yield. International equities are expected to perform well due to forecast interest rate cuts, relative currency strengths, and attractive valuations compared to U.S. stocks.

The Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF aims to include a dividend tilt and provides a convenient way to invest in developed market equities excluding North America. While not highly stable, DIVI has shown a strong history of risk-adjusted returns. With a focus on European stocks making up 60% of its holdings, DIVI could potentially benefit from increased consumer spending and funds from the recovery program.

Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF aims to provide an enhanced yield in developed markets with a portfolio heavy in Japan and financials. DIVI has outperformed its benchmark and five competitors over the last 18 months and has a lower fee. Data prior to August 2022 are irrelevant due to a reshuffling of the fund.

Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF offers affordable developed markets equity exposure with a dividend-centric methodology. DIVI has consistently performed well compared to competitors and its category. DIVI presents an attractive investment opportunity for those seeking capital appreciation and income generation with a focus on high dividend-yielding international equities.

DIVI seeks to replicate the performance of the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-North America Dividend Enhanced Select Index. It appears efficient in providing access to ex-North America developed equity markets with an emphasis on dividend yield. There's no question regarding its use in a diversified portfolio; I would, however, like to also talk about an alternative in this post.

Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF holds about 500 dividend stocks from developed countries. It was reshuffled in August 2022, older data are irrelevant to the current strategy. The portfolio is well-diversified across countries, sectors and holdings.

As megacap US growth captures the limelight, major international indexes are at or near cycle highs. With a nearly 6% dividend yield in the past year, DIVI features a low valuation and modest expenses.
