Why not the $EUHD?

@Olli68 two different factors: low vola against quality. I suppose that the exposure to quality could be the main reason

@Olli68 Invesco - High Dividend Low Volatility ETF

1 year: approx. +30 - 34 % (strong year due to dividend stocks)
THE INVESTMENT
+1

3 years: approx. +60 - 64 % in total (≈ ~18 % p.a.)
extraETF

Strategy: Stability & dividend with low volatility.

👉 Low volatility is a core criterion.
➡️ This tends to make the ETF "calmer" in fluctuating markets.
THE INVESTMENT

📌 Franklin European Quality Dividend

5-year volatility approx. 13.4 % - 13.7 % (slightly higher risk than Invesco)
Ireland

Dividend yield ~3% (often higher compared to index basis)
Ireland

Tracking over more than 1,000 stocks → broader diversification than Invesco.
Ireland

Franklin often offers greater breadth and higher quality criteria, which can stabilize in the long term, but also means somewhat higher volatility.

@Immoinvestor1981 I opted for the Franklin and thus for the quality criterion with dividends for the entry, but I can also add the Invesco - thanks for the tip. I have stayed away from it for the time being as it, like many other ETFs, is all at all time highs. Will continue to invest in tranches....

@Immoinvestor1981 Invesco ETF ...

Good, if you want:
high-dividend Eurozone equities + lower volatility

Classic low-risk dividend ETF

Less diversification → possibly concentrated countries/shares.
AVL Financial Brokerage

🟩 Franklin ETF ...

Good if you want:
broadly diversified Europe dividend strategy portfolio

Focus on quality and dividends → more stable growth base

More equities, more countries → potentially more opportunities in the long term, but also slightly more risk.

@Immoinvestor1981 The $EUHD also has a 5% payout with a 10% annual increase (last 3 years).

@Olli68 Yes, maybe, but for me Franklin is more broadly diversified (all of Europe incl. UK / Switzerland etc.), historically somewhat less risky, solid country diversification, core dividend focus. For this reason I opted for Franklin. Furthermore, Invesco is somewhat more defensively positioned - there is no focus on growth sectors. Drawdowns are much higher with Invesco, i.e. during crash phases, which is why I chose this quality point. Otherwise you can also choose the Global X Superdividend ETF, which also pays an excellent monthly dividend.

@Olli68 maybe because the FLXD one has UK stocks in them as one of the few EU ETFs. That is why I have it. The high div low volatility ETFs from invesco are great. If they drop their TER a bit, they would haul in most of the dividend investors money. I have their Emergent market ETF $HDEM
