DTH Profile
The WisdomTree International High Dividend Fund is strategically designed to offer investors exposure to high dividend-yielding companies in developed international markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The fund primarily invests in equities that are constituents of a fundamentally weighted index, specifically selected for their high dividend yields. By focusing on this niche, the fund aims to provide a robust income stream while targeting attractive international dividend opportunities.
The index underlying the fund is composed of companies identified from the WisdomTree International Equity Index. This fundamentally weighted index is structured to emphasize firms that demonstrate strong dividend yields, reflecting their commitment to returning capital to shareholders. The selection process involves identifying companies with substantial and sustainable dividend payments, which are anticipated to offer higher returns relative to their peers in the international equity space.
Under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 95% of its total assets to securities that are either part of the index or possess similar economic characteristics to those index components. This significant allocation ensures that the fund's performance closely tracks the underlying index, thereby aligning with its investment objectives. The approach minimizes exposure to non-index securities, focusing on those that meet the specific criteria of high dividend yields and fundamental strength.
As a non-diversified fund, the WisdomTree International High Dividend Fund concentrates its investments on a select group of high-dividend international companies. This focused strategy allows the fund to potentially deliver higher income returns, but it also involves a degree of sector and geographical concentration risk. The fund’s management emphasizes maintaining adherence to the index’s criteria while adapting to evolving market conditions to optimize dividend income and overall performance.
