iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of equity securities issued by companies in developed markets outside the United States with higher than average dividend yields. The fund offers investors exposure to international dividend-paying companies across various sectors including financials, energy, utilities, and consumer staples; it employs a passive management approach by holding a portfolio of approximately 100 high-dividend-yield stocks selected from the S&P Global ex-U.S. High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. IDV provides monthly dividend distributions and focuses on companies demonstrating consistent dividend growth and financial stability. Managed by BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A., the fund was launched in 2007 and is domiciled in the United States with primary listing on the NYSE Arca. Geographically, it targets developed markets in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Canada, serving institutional and retail investors seeking income and diversification beyond U.S. equities. In recent developments, IDV underwent a minor index reconstitution in late 2024 to incorporate updated dividend sustainability metrics amid global interest rate shifts; BlackRock announced enhanced ESG screening integration for the fund in Q3 2025 as part of broader sustainable investing initiatives, without altering its core high-yield focus.
