iShares Core MSCI Global Quality Dividend Index ETF (XDG.TO) Company Profile & Overview
The fund is passively managed, holding other iShares ETFs that target large- and mid-cap companies from developed markets with high dividend income and quality characteristics. The underlying security selection begins with a screen for higher than average dividend yields. The process seeks to identify securities with a history of consistent dividend payments and capacity to sustain payments in the future. Securities are then screened for certain quality factors such as return on equity, earning variability, debt to equity, and recent price performance. Stocks not meeting the quality criteria are excluded. Securities remaining that meet the higher than average dividend yields are selected, and market-cap weighted in the investment portfolio. Holdings are rebalanced semi-annually.
