- Virtus WMC International Dividend ETF (VWID) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks above-market dividend yields through a diversified portfolio of international developed markets equities exhibiting value characteristics, with a targeted beta of approximately 0.9 relative to broad international benchmarks and risk controls minimizing factor, country, sector, and currency exposures. The ETF invests primarily in large- and mid-cap stocks from 22 of 23 developed markets ex-U.S. countries, selected via a quantitative process informed by fundamentals that prioritizes securities with above-consensus forecasted dividend per share growth, broader high-yield opportunities, and overall value style traits defined by book value-to-price, forward earnings-to-price, and dividend yield metrics; top holdings as of late 2025 include Allianz SE (2.47%), Toyota Motor Corp (2.08%), British American Tobacco PLC (1.85%), Rio Tinto PLC (1.84%), and Zurich Insurance Group AG (1.82%), spanning sectors such as financials, consumer staples, materials, energy, and industrials. It offers quarterly income distributions (e.g., $0.245870 paid September 29, 2025; $0.637570 paid June 27, 2025), a 30-day SEC yield of 3.53% and distribution rate of 2.76% as of December 2025, with a total expense ratio of 0.49%, approximately 155 holdings, and net assets of $14.3 million as of December 16, 2025. VWID targets investors seeking high dividend potential from non-U.S. developed markets, with geographic focus on Europe (e.g., Germany, UK, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France), Japan, Canada, and Australia. Launched on October 10, 2017, by Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC (Hartford, Connecticut) as part of ETFis Series Trust I and distributed by VP Distributors, LLC (a Virtus subsidiary), the ETF is subadvised by Wellington Management Company LLP (founded 1928; Boston, Massachusetts headquarters; over $1 trillion in assets under management), with portfolio management led by Thomas S. Simon, CFA, FRM (since 2017) and Matt J. Kyller, CFA (since 2022). It began trading publicly on July 20, 2020, following a name change from Virtus WMC Global Factor Opportunities ETF to its current name, reflecting a sharpened focus on international dividend strategies. Most recently, effective February 28, 2024, the fund's performance benchmark shifted to the MSCI World ex USA Value Index (net) from prior references, aligning more closely with its value-oriented, dividend-tilted construction across developed markets ex-U.S. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or structural reorganizations have been reported in the last 1-2 years, though institutional ownership remains modest with seven holders managing 137,580 shares as of November 2025, led by Jane Street Group, LLC and LPL Financial LLC.
