The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF, known as the Fund, is designed to largely mimic the investment performance of the MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index. This mirroring of the benchmark's returns is assessed before any fees or expenses are factored in.

Global income investors have spent most of this cycle picking between two extremes: broad, low-cost international dividend funds that dilute yield across hundreds of names, or concentrated high-yield strategies that lean heavily on European banks and telecoms.

MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF offers a 3.8% yield from a value-oriented portfolio of developed market dividend stocks. HDEF has moderate country and company risk but significant sector risk in financials. Performance closely tracks its parent index, EFA, since inception, but HDEF lags some competitors like FNDF and IDV.

With a weakening U.S. dollar, investors who look outside the U.S. have an opportunity for enhanced total returns with international ETFs. The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF (HDEF) offers low-cost exposure to high-quality international dividend stocks.

HDEF: Solid Dividends, But Don't Expect Strong Growth
