Vanguard International Dividend Growth fund in registration
There appears to be several active dividend focused ETF managers introducing international offerings using the same approach as used domestically. Besides VDIGX as noted above, there’s SCHY..the Schwab international partner of the popular domestic SCHD. Also, DIVOs international counterpart IDVO, using a similar partial covered call strategy. All have an interest in generating distributions, but each in a unique fashion.
Guess he will be succeeding Donald Kilbride as Kibride manages solely on the new Vanguard Advice Select Dividend Growth. Noted that VDIGX lags the passively managed Dividend Appreciation fund this year and added Microsoft as its #1 holding.
Going forward, it would be interesting to see what stocks International Dividend Growth would holds.
