Ex-U.S. developed market dividend payers often feature larger yields than their U.S. counterparts, an assertion proven by comparing large- and mega-cap dividend stocks from familiar dividend sectors such as consumer staples, energy, financial services and telecommunications.
“The U.K., Switzerland and France combine for about 41% of ONTL’s roster. ONTL turns one year old in late March, so its track record is not lengthy, but the fund’s emphasis on quality stocks positions it well for future dividend growth,” according to InvestorPlace.
The healthcare and industrial sectors combine for over 31% of ONTL’s weight while the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors combine for over 23%.
ONTL has an annual expense ratio of 0.48%, or $48 on a $10,000 investment.
