WisdomTree International Hedged Quality Dividend Growth Fund (IHDG) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the WisdomTree International Hedged Quality Dividend Growth Index, providing exposure to dividend-paying companies with growth characteristics in developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, while neutralizing currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar through hedging; the fund employs derivatives such as futures and forwards for currency management and invests in a diversified portfolio across market capitalizations, with a focus on large-cap stocks screened for quality and growth factors.
The fund's core offerings include equity exposure to international dividend growers in sectors like consumer cyclical, healthcare, financials, and industrials; top holdings as of recent data feature Toyota Motor Corporation, LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton, and Novo Nordisk A/S; it targets U.S. investors seeking hedged access to developed markets in Europe, Japan, Australia, and other regions including the United Kingdom (18.40%), Japan (18.04%), and Germany (12.40%).
Launched on May 7, 2014, and domiciled in the United States, IHDG is issued and managed by WisdomTree Trust, with headquarters aligned to WisdomTree, Inc. in New York; the fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.58%, total assets under management of approximately $2.3-$2.5 billion, and quarterly dividend distributions yielding around 2.6%.
Recent developments include routine index rebalances, such as the October 2025 international quality dividend growth rebalance enhancing bank exposure and core alignment, alongside bi-monthly hedge ratio adjustments for dynamic currency hedging; ongoing portfolio reconstitutions reflect standard methodology updates without major strategic shifts, acquisitions, or name changes reported in 2024-2025.
