Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF

Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides broad exposure to non-U.S. companies with relatively high dividend yields. The fund is designed to track a market-cap-weighted index of developed and emerging market equities outside the United States, focusing on firms expected to pay above-average dividends over the next 12 months. Its portfolio spans a wide range of sectors and regions, with notable representation from financials, health care, energy, consumer staples, and industrials. The ETF is used by investors seeking diversified international equity exposure with an income-oriented approach, combining companies from established markets such as Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia with selected emerging market holdings. Managed by Vanguard, it offers a low-cost, rules-based structure that emphasizes dividend selection and global diversification.
