Data as of October 30, 2026. SDIV closed at $22.73.
SDIV holds 100 of the highest-yielding stocks worldwide, in equal weights. Selecting on yield alone pulls in shipping, mortgage REITs, energy, and other stressed or cyclical names, and the fund's long-term price record is poor.

0.58% a year, or about $58 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
A mix of qualified and non-qualified foreign dividends. Foreign tax withheld can often be claimed as a credit in a taxable account, but not in an IRA.
