WDIV aims to find high dividends in the global equity space using the S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats Index, an index that focuses on long-term dividend stability or growth. The selection universe starts with the S&P Global BMI index constituents that have at least 10 consecutive years of increasing or stable dividends. Eligible securities should also meet the market-cap and liquidity screens. The index then selects the top 100 stocks with the highest dividend yield, with no more than 20 stocks from a single country. Selected securities are weighted based on dividends and rebalanced on an annual basis. In addition, the index constituents are reviewed semi-annually, so that no individual security has a weight greater than 3% and no single sector or industry group has more than 25% weight of the portfolio.
