ETF with high dividend, win win

My strategy is based on building a broad portfolio that generates passive income. As many studies predict future growth in emerging markets, I am also focusing on the EM Dividend. It will be successively expanded. In mathematical terms, the net distribution should be over 7%.

Are you still in it?
The ETF has the largest weighting for me, as I have actually always pursued a dividend strategy. But performance (excluding dividends) has been going downhill for years, unfortunately 02'2012 at 22,90€ today at around 14,30€. But even worse are the total costs per year, have you ever looked at them? A TER of 0.65% is stated, but the total costs amount to 1.1%. It's literally eating me up in terms of costs. I'll probably get it soon.

However, a few more zeros need to be added so that the dividends are noticeable

Every little bit helps. In total, I get 5.5% dividend on my portfolio, I'm quite satisfied))

@ScorpionfromBW A 7% dividend is a 7% dividend. The underlying amount is irrelevant. The value of the income is different for everyone.

-30% in the last 10 years. You would have done better with all other EM ETFs. Why should that change?

Everything follows a cyclical course. The Telekom share was also a high deficit for 20 years, or Microsoft. I see the country breakdown as exciting and broadly diversified and the constant distribution is at a high level. I expect a stronger increase in value over the next ten years.

Focus on high payouts is almost a guarantee of underperformance.

Yes, I agree with you. In fact, the portfolio is only a vehicle for later crypto gains via a savings plan and one-off purchases (below 200MA is partially bought in) in order to realize the passive income. For me, the EM div in question has the appeal of positioning myself more broadly in the emerging market, focusing on fundamental areas that I don't otherwise cover in my portfolio, such as financial services and energy. Overall, there is no perfect truth, but 1.9% of my portfolio in the ETF is a nice addition.
