Hey!

I'd be interested to know what attracts you to this ETF and what you plan to do with it later. I assume a) you want to diversify into the European currency area. I can well understand that and that's what I do with ETFs. $LDEG.

b) The dividend growth of the STOXX 600 is very poor in my opinion, which presumably (?) cannot be your main motivation. There are much better European ETFs, also with a special focus on dividends.

So you want to c) sell this ETF at some point or switch to another asset.

Finally, could it d) act as a market cap counterpart to your S&P 500?

Would love to hear your feedback.

@Yield-Ahead You are right: dividends are a side effect of the index composition, not the main objective of the fund. There is no strategy to optimize dividend growth. But it can indeed be seen as a counterweight to HMWO and S&P. Due to the broad coverage I find it excellent as an Eu Invest without being too specialized. The capital floats along and will not generate an excess return but will not underperform either. It should simply bring a bit of stability in these crazy times (when are there none?) Except for small payments like today, it is fed from the dividends from $JEGP and $JEPQ. These are divided equally between $VUSA and the Stoxx. I don't yet know how I will use the capital later on.

Thank you for your explanation. That is indeed the good thing about broad market ETFs, unlike strategy ETFs. You can practically never go wrong with them.

Incidentally, this is also how I do it: $JEGP has reached its target allocation for the time being and is now feeding $VWRL. This extra monthly boost adds up over the course of a year

@Yield-Ahead I had the $TDIV which benefited enormously from the financial sector and its distributions.

But for me it was far too heavily weighted in the long term. I think I'm doing very well with the eurostoxx now. More broadly diversified. Let's see what the future brings
