 The
WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (DEM) is an
exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of high
dividend-yielding companies from emerging market countries. The fund
seeks to provide exposure to dividend-paying companies in emerging
markets that can generate income and potential long-term capital
appreciation.
DEM has a broad diversification of holdings
across several emerging market countries, including China, Taiwan,
South Africa, and Brazil. The fund's holdings are weighted by dividend
yield, with higher-yielding companies receiving a higher allocation.
The ETF's top sectors are financials, energy, and materials, which
represent a significant portion of the fund's total holdings.
One unique aspect of DEM is its focus on dividend-paying companies in
emerging markets, which can offer investors an attractive source of
income and diversification. However, investors should be aware of the
risks associated with investing in emerging market countries, which
can be subject to political and economic instability, currency
fluctuations, and other factors that may impact investment returns.
As of March 23, 2023, DEM has an expense ratio of 0.63%, total net
assets of approximately $3.4 billion, and a dividend yield of 4.50%.
The fund has delivered an average annual return of approximately 8.49%
since its inception in 2007.
