iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV) Stock Price, Quote, News & History

The fund seeks to track the investment results of the Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index, which is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. The Underlying Index measures the performance of 100 high dividend-paying companies in the EPAC region, which covers developed markets excluding the U.S. Constituents are selected according to indicated annual dividend yield, subject to screening criteria and weighting constraints. IAD yield is defined as a stock's IAD divided by its price. The starting universe for the Underlying Index is the S&P EPAC BMI and the S&P Canada BMI indexes, excluding real estate investment trusts. To be eligible for the Underlying Index as a new constituent, an issuer must (i) have paid dividends in each of the previous three years; (ii) have a current year trailing 12-month dividend-per-share ratio that is greater than or equal to its three-year average dividend-per-share ratio; and (iii) have a five-year average dividend coverage ratio that is greater than or equal to two-thirds of the five-year average dividend coverage ratio of the corresponding S&P BMI country index, or greater than 118%, whichever is greater. In addition, the security must have (x) a non-negative trailing 12-month earnings per share; (y) a float-adjusted market capitalization of at least $1 billion, or at least $750 million for current constituents; and (z) a three-month average daily trading value of at least $3 million. Current constituents are included in the eligible universe regardless of their dividend growth rate, coverage ratio, current year earnings per share or average daily trading value.
