VYMI mirrors VYM's rules-based dividend methodology across 1,500 non-US stocks and has outperformed its domestic twin by 11 percentage points over the past year.
VYMI's $22 billion in **** ets is dwarfed by VYM's $83 billion, revealing how overlooked international dividend investing remains despite paying higher yields.
IDV concentrates its international yield hunt into roughly 100 holdings at a 0.50% fee, making it the higher-income, higher-risk alternative to VYMI's diversified approach.

Ask a typical income investor for a Vanguard dividend ETF, and you'll hear Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEARCA:VYM) before the question is finished. Ask about its overseas sibling, and you'll usually get a blank stare. Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ:VYMI) runs the same playbook outside the United States, pays a fatter distribution, and has quietly outperformed its famous American cousin over the past year. Even the established international name in the category, iShares International Select Dividend ETF (CBOE:IDV), doesn't get much airtime alongside the domestic heavyweights.
