Conventional wisdom dictates that when equity markets slump, dividend stocks are usually less bad than their non-dividend counterparts. Assuming conventional wisdom is accurate, it is reasonable to say emerging markets investors are feeling let down by dividend exchange-traded funds.
While developing world equities and the related ETFs tumbled over the past few years, emerging markets dividend funds offered investors little shelter from that storm. In some cases, some previously favored emerging markets dividend ETFs delivered worse returns than traditional indexes of developing world stocks.
That scenario appears to be changing for the better, and that could mean it is time to give a newer player in this space a look: the Global X SuperDividend Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE: SDEM).
