First Published Date: February 2, 2014 ADawnJournal.com

As the pages fall from the calendar and time spins inexorably on, dividend investors step up their quest for dividend ETFs further beyond Canadian borders. Today, I will talk about three dividend ETFs that are trading outside Canada and holding high yield stocks around the globe.

SDIV – Global X SuperDividend ETF MER 0.58% – SDIV tracks 100 diversified high dividend paying companies across the globe, including the US, but with a lesser concentration on the emerging markets. If a company cuts its dividend, SDIV gets rid of that company at the next quarterly review. As of this writing, 12-month dividend yield is 7.22%.

DWX – SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF MER 0.45% – DWX tracks 100 high dividend mid-cap companies across the globe, excluding the US, but with a higher concentration on the Australian market. Yield is 6.61%.

DOO – WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials ETF MER 0.58% – DOO tracks 92 large and mid-cap companies across the globe, excluding the financial sector, with a higher concentration on the UK market and lesser concentration on the US market. Yield is 2.73%.

There are many other high-dividend global ETFs trading on the US exchanges. High yield comes with high risks. Do your homework before making any investment decisions.
