- With SDEM, an investor can gain exposure to established top dividend payers from China, South Africa, Hong Kong, Russia, Brazil, the UAE, India, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, and Egypt.
- SDEM's overweight position in financials (over 32% share of the net assets) is quite typical for EM-focused dividend ETFs - see the examples of DVYE or DEM.
- SDEM delivered alpha in the previous six months, as investors switched their attention from tech names to pandemic-hit cyclical players and emerging markets, pricing in looming quick economic recovery.
- SDEM has a solid standardized yield of 4.69%, which puts it ahead of 3.69% yielding DEM but behind DVYE that sports a 5.97% yield.
