Hello,

I am thinking about getting a purely European ETF into my portfolio, as I unfortunately made the mistake at the beginning and let myself be dazzled by the dividends of the $EL4X (-5,86 %) I would like to shift the money into another ETF.

Now I'm thinking of either investing only in the DAX and covering the rest of Europe with individual stocks, e.g. France $MC (-4,14 %) and Denmark $NOVO B (-6,66 %)

or I invest in a European ETF like the $XMEU (-5,74 %) or similar.

Hello dear community! This is my first post and I am interested in your opinion about this German dividend ETF, especially in comparison to the S&P US Dividend Aristocrats.

With a yield between 2.7 and 6.9% over the last four years, the German dividend index performs quite well compared to its US counterpart. However, since I haven't read anything at all about this index in the community here so far, I'm a bit skeptical.

Is the German index simply worse from the performance of the underlying holdings or are there other weaknesses that I am overlooking?

One would also save on withholding tax with the German index, which would be another advantage (15% with the US Aristocrats, as it is based in Ireland).

Thanks for your opinion!
