- DEM tracks the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Index, a fundamentally-weighted one. An equity's weight in the index depends on the annual cash dividends paid.
- DEM is overweight in financials, materials, and information technology, which account for 27.6%, 21%, and 14.8% of the NAV, respectively.
- A material presence of equities from the financials and materials makes the fund nicely positioned for a global economic recovery but also vulnerable to setbacks.
- I would say that DEM is a nice choice for income-oriented investors who are bullish on emerging markets and especially for those who are relatively bearish on the U.S. dollar. I prefer to remain neutral.
