IQDY Profile
The FlexShares International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund is designed to track an index that measures the performance of a curated selection of international companies exhibiting strong financial strength and stability. This index aims to outperform the Northern Trust International Large Cap Index by focusing on firms that demonstrate superior financial health, sustainability, and reliability in their operations.
The fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to investments in securities included in the index. This allocation includes American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) that represent the underlying securities in the index. By focusing on these high-quality international companies, the fund seeks to offer investors access to a diverse portfolio of stable, dividend-paying global equities.
The selection process for the underlying index incorporates a rigorous evaluation of financial metrics such as profitability, balance sheet strength, and cash flow stability. This approach ensures that the index and, consequently, the fund, are populated with companies that not only meet high standards of financial performance but also offer the potential for consistent dividend income and long-term capital appreciation.
Managed by FlexShares, the fund aims to provide investors with a strategic investment vehicle for gaining exposure to high-quality international dividend stocks. The emphasis on financial strength and dividend stability reflects the fund’s goal of delivering reliable returns and mitigating risk through a diversified and resilient investment strategy.
