$EQDS (-5,2%) your opinion on this high dividend ETF or high dividend ETFs in general? Is it worth it?

@DonkeyInvestor once wrote a very good article on the subject. You should have read it.

3.4% yield is not high. The MSCI Europe index has an average of 2.7%, so 3.4 is reasonable. You have to look at prospectus of etf to know what are the criteria for including companies that pay out dividends. $EUHD, $IDVY, $C051, $EEI all pay out 5-6% div and performed bad last 5 years. But $FLXD pays out 4.5% per year and only has 6-11% less performance (44%) than the MSCI Europe ETFs (50-55%) and your named etf $EQDS has more or less the same performance (50%) as the MSCI Europe ETFs, but pays out 0.7% more div each year.
Ok, what is right is that the past few years you were better to put your money into ETFs that invest in US stocks, you would have done better 95 out of 100 choices, but if you compare apples to apples and not pears, the one you mention is not bad for investing in Europe. It definitely is not a yield trap.
