The Vanguard FTSE ex NA Hh Dividend Yield ETF (VIDY-T) offers a strategic way to invest in developed markets while avoiding heavy exposure to the United States. Both reviews emphasize its focus on dividend yield and position it as a solid diversifier in an investment portfolio. The low management expense ratio (MER) of 0.32% makes it an appealing option for income-focused investors seeking to enhance their income streams without incurring high costs. Moreover, the combination of lower concentration in North America and the emphasis on dividends presents a timely opportunity for potential investors, particularly when considered alongside other global funds like VEE. In summary, VIDY-T shows promise with its proactive approach to diversifying away from US markets while maintaining a favorable cost structure and dividend focus.
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.

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.
