DEW offers exposure to a global range of high dividend-yielding companies. The selection universe is drawn from the Wisdom Tree Global Dividend Index. The fund selects stocks by dividend yield, picking the top 30% from its universe, with some adjustments based on fundamental valuation, quality and momentum factors. It then weights the winners by total dividends paid out in cash over the past 12 months, capping sector and country weights at 25%. The resulting basket of stocks favors US stocks and the financial sector, but most peer funds share these traits. The index is reconstituted annually.
