Description

The fund looks for large and midcap equities outside the US with sustainable high dividend income and quality characteristics but excludes REITs. The fund tracks an MSCI index that screens high-yielding firms for fundamental and technical quality factors like dividend consistency, ROE, debt/equity ratio, and recent price movements. These screens are designed to avoid companies with over-sized yields that can't be maintained. Issuer weights are capped at 5%. XDU is rebalanced semi-annually. The fund is an unhedged version, any USD exposure is not hedged to CAD. Sibling fund XDUH is the CAD-hedged version, USD units are also available.
