HDEF Profile
The Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF is designed to provide targeted exposure to high dividend-paying equities within developed markets outside of North America. The fund commits to investing at least 80% of its total assets, and often a greater portion, in the securities that comprise its underlying index. This index is engineered to capture the performance of high dividend yield equities that exhibit superior income and quality characteristics relative to the broader MSCI EAFE Index.
The underlying index specifically focuses on equities from developed markets across Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (EAFE) that offer higher dividend yields and demonstrate high-quality financial metrics. By excluding lower dividend-paying and lower-quality stocks, the index aims to provide investors with a portfolio of stocks that are both financially robust and capable of delivering sustainable and persistent dividend income. This approach is designed to enhance yield while maintaining a focus on high-quality investments.
