The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) has garnered positive attention from experts seeking to diversify beyond North American investments while obtaining high monthly dividends and capital appreciation. This ETF includes substantial international companies like Novartis (NVS), HSBC, Nestle, Shell (SHEL), and BHP, offering a yield in the range of approximately 4-5%. Experts highlight the importance of investing in international markets, noting that these companies typically have stronger balance sheets and are more disciplined in capital allocation. As currencies shift and historic market valuation discounts narrow, international markets are experiencing enhanced performance, providing a compelling alternative to U.S. mega-cap stocks. Outperformance against the S&P 500 since late 2024 further strengthens the ETF’s position as an attractive investment option.

ETF recommendation? Looking for high monthly dividend, capital appreciation, in an RRSP, but already heavily invested in banks.

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. 

TOP PICK

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%.
