VYM - WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund: Investors Should Seek Opportunities Elsewhere
ETF Overview
WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (DEM) focuses on high-yielding dividend stocks in emerging markets. The fund's selection criteria of solely focusing on yield may include lower quality companies. DEM also has higher exposure to cyclical sectors. This introduces considerable risk in an economic downturn. Although the ETF pays an attractive dividend yield of 4.8%, DEM's portfolio of stocks has low growth profile. This has resulted in a total return of only 30.3 in the past 10 years. Therefore, we recommend investors seek opportunities elsewhere.
