The iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV) operates within the Dividend Income category, which currently contains 20 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer. Issued by iShares, the fund has accumulated assets under management of $8.03 billion while trading at a price of $43.18. It holds an overall rank of #16 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B+ with a score of 80.1 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.5% and offers a dividend yield of 5.50%. This combination of substantial assets and a high yield suggests significant investor adoption relative to its cost structure. The fund's position as a top-tier performer in its specific category is reflected in its high overall ranking among the broader universe of tracked funds.
Over the last day, the ETF gained 0.23%, followed by a 0.40% increase over the one-week period. Monthly returns accelerated to 4.38%, while the three-month return moderated to 1.52%. The six-month performance showed further growth at 8.93%, and year-to-date returns reached 11.24%. The one-year return stood at 26.59%, and the three-year return totaled 88.31%. This trajectory indicates a pattern of strong long-term accumulation with some fluctuation in the intermediate three-month window. The fund's closest category peers include VYMI, which posted a 1-year return of 27.63%, and VYM, which recorded a 1-year return of 21.67%.
The fund carries a volatility label of Low and a beta of 0.74, indicating that its price movements have historically been less sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.64 suggests the fund has generated a favorable amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. Despite this efficiency, the maximum drawdown reached -11.86%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund. This combination of low volatility and a high Sharpe ratio implies a relatively smooth ride for investors, even during periods of market stress. The data points to a profile where the fund has managed to limit downside severity while delivering substantial returns over the three-year horizon.

IDV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 4.58% and average daily volume is 925K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $8.03B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: IDV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
