Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI)

Gives you international companies with high dividends. Names like NVS, HSBC, Nestle, SHEL, BHP. Yield is ~4-5%. International companies will always pay a bit more of a dividend, as they trade at a bit of a discount to NA companies. 

A theme right now is to diversify beyond NA borders. This ETF provides income from a broad-based basket of international, high-dividend names. These types of companies tend to have stronger balance sheets and more disciplined capital allocation.

Historic valuation discount of those markets relative to the US, but now those markets are starting to perform well as the USD becomes less dominant. Getting a lift from currencies as well.

Market leadership is expanding beyond the US mega-caps. So allocations to other areas such as international and EMs is becoming more important. Against the S&P 500, this ETF has actually outperformed it since late 2024. Yield is 3.8%.
