The Vanguard FTSE ex NA Hh Dividend Yield ETF (VIDY-T) offers a compelling investment option for those looking to diversify their portfolios away from North American markets. Experts appreciate its focus on developed markets globally while strategically avoiding heavy concentration in the U.S. This approach is seen as defensive, especially in uncertain market conditions. The ETF emphasizes dividends, a feature that many investors value for their potential income generation. With a low management expense ratio (MER) of 0.32%, it is viewed as an attractive vehicle for income-focused investors. Some experts suggest considering this ETF alongside other options like VEE for a well-rounded dividend strategy.

As long as you have 4-5 years before the home purchase, you can be in an equity strategy. Equities can be volatile.

For Canadian exposure, VDY or XEI makes sense -- high dividends tend to do well in Canada. Lots of options in the US, but he'd stick to equal-weight (not market-weight) ETFs. S&P 500 is still 45% tech and communications, and that's a bit risky at this point. Consider RSP.

For European exposure go for a broad-based approach such as in VIDY.

TOP PICK

A nice way to diversify away from North America. Dividends tend to downrisk a bit in a portfolio. Cheap. Simple dividend methodology. High allocation to European financials. Less on growth. Dividend yield is not super high, so don't expect big income gains.

COMMENT
ZDI vs. VIDY -- international dividend ETF for non-registered account?

ZDI uses the MSCI World Universe International Developed Markets index, which does not include exposure to South Korea. VIDY uses the FTSE series, which does include South Korea. That's the main difference, along with a slight difference in MER (ZDI slightly more expensive).

Focus on the exposure, not the MER. You have to make a call whether there are enough good dividend-paying stocks in South Korea to want to choose VIDY. Remember, these dividends don't get preferential tax treatment, it's all income. So if you're looking for income in your taxable portfolio, you get a much better tax experience with capital gains from the covered call overlay.

HOLD

Don't have to worry about ETF going out of business.
Solid long term bet.
Good product for investors.
