Vanguard FTSE Developed ex North America High Dividend Yield Index ETF (VIDY)
Q: Which one do you prefer for international exposure?
5i Research Answer:
VIU has the largest AUM at $4.8B, vs. VI at $0.4B, and VIDY at $0.3B.
VI only holds VIU, but VI is hedged to the Canadian dollar.
Both VIDY and VIU have performed similarly over the years, but due to its slightly lower level of volatility, we would give VIU the edge today.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in VIDY.
