Global high dividend ETF
Options

Posts: 639 Forumite


Can anyone recommend one to research.
I have about 20% in City of London,
20% in SWLD
10 % in VHYL
and the rest in gilts/MM
I am 61, retired, but not yet drawing any pension, and nervous of sequence of return risks, especially as global trackers contain so much of a handful of expensive US companies
I am over the old LTA, so growth is not so important, as I would be paying higher tax to access and won't get the 25% tax free element. (not overly concerned about inheritance)
I like the idea of dividend paying companies, as there is a likelyhood they will carry on paying (some) dividend in the event of a big crash, and like the idea of global diversification...
I understand in a SIPP growth and dividend can both be classed as income, but in a crash growth disappears and dividends should not.
VHYL has relatively expensive fees, so looking for an alternative.
I use HL, so ideally would be an ETF to avoid fees...
Any suggestions....?

IUKD is an option for High Dividend Equities, but it's solely focused on the UK. I have a large holding. My retirement portfolion is mainly focused on dividend paying Investment Trusts, and I too would be interested in a high yield global EFT but haven't identified one yet.
The Investment Trusts did ok through the covid pandemic, continuing to pay dividends from reserves even when the dividend streams from the underlying equities were somewhat reduced.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
I looked into this a while back, and the best I could find was GBDV:
https://www.ssga.com/uk/en_gb/intermediary/etfs/spdr-sp-global-dividend-aristocrats-ucits-etf-dist-zprg-gy
It has rather a high TER of 0.45%, and the current yield is only 3.76%. I didn't buy it.

Re HL and looking (constraining yourself) to ETFs, have you considered simply moving to a fixed price provider such as Interactive Investor?
SIPP charge is £12.99pm. There would be transaction charges, even for OEICs which HL do not charge for, but it would allow you to select investments appropriate to your requirements rather than looking at a more restrictive pool.
