In that article, I argued that VIGI&#8217;s cheap valuation and strong dividend growth track-record made the fund<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> a buy. I also argued that the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares (<\/span>VYMI<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">) provided a similar, but broadly superior choice. Since then, both VIGI and VYMI have very slightly outperformed the S&amp;P 500, but VYMI&#8217;s performance has been a tad stronger. Results have been broadly in-line with expectations, if mostly average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Since my last article, VIGI&#8217;s valuation has become pricier, and the U.S. dollar has lost some strength. These issues, combined with VIGI&#8217;s disadvantages relative to peers, have made me re-assess the merits of the fund. Right now, I would not be investing in the fund.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI &#8211; Basics<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>Sponsor: Vanguard<\/li>\n<li>Underlying Index: S&amp;P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index <\/li>\n<li>Dividend Yield: 2.16%<\/li>\n<li>Expense Ratio: 0.15%<\/li>\n<li>Total Returns CAGR (Inception): 8.6%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI &#8211; Overview and Analysis<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Index and Holdings<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI is an international dividend growth index ETF. It tracks the S&amp;P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index, an index of these same securities. Said index includes all international stocks with at least 7 consecutive years of dividend growth, subject to a basic set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. It is a market-capitalization weighted index, although weights are capped at 4.0% to ensure diversification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI&#8217;s underlying index is quite broad, which results in a well-diversified fund. VIGI currently invests in 325 stocks, about average for a diversified equity fund.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922209254588516.png\" alt=\"VIGI\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>VIGI<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI invests in dozens of countries, but clearly focusing on developed European and Asian markets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-1692221388778287.png\" alt=\"VIGI\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>VIGI<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI&#8217;s developed market holdings are of comparable risk to average U.S. equities. VIGI&#8217;s emerging market holdings, however, are materially riskier. As the latter are only a small portion of the fund&#8217;s portfolio, the fund should be a bit riskier than the average U.S. equity index fund. VIGI saw slightly higher losses than the S&amp;P 500 during 1H2020, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Results were as expected, although not all that significant.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_bcdcb6dffde2e6824cb002d220f7205b.png\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Data by YCharts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI provides investors with diversified industry exposures as well. Allocations to real estate and utilities are both quite low, however.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922218120896592.png\" alt=\"Morningstar\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Morningstar<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As is the case for most dividend ETFs, the fund is underweight tech and growth, while being overweight old-economy industries like materials and industrials. Compare VIGI&#8217;s industry allocations to those of the S&amp;P 500, for instance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922234310714545.png\" alt=\"VIGI\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>VIGI<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI&#8217;s industry exposures seem to have a small, but noticeable, impact on the fund&#8217;s performance. VIGI tends to outperform when tech underperforms, as was the case in 2022.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_e87793f71cfb427c90491a30ec82389c.png\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Data by YCharts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">At the same time, VIGI tends to underperform when tech outperforms, as was the case in 2020.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_699a12d6f87c5446f7dc8acabacc6458.png\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Data by YCharts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although VIGI&#8217;s differing industry exposures do seem to have an impact on the fund&#8217;s performance, it seems to be quite small.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Besides the above, not much else stands out about the fund, its index, or its holdings. It is a simple international equity index ETF, focusing on developed markets, with a value tilt.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Dividend Analysis<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI invests in international stocks with long track-records of consistent dividend growth. This should result in good, above-average, long-term dividend growth for the fund, as seems to be the case. VIGI&#8217;s dividends have grown at a 7.4% CAGR for the past five years, rising to 14.4% these past twelve months. Growth is higher than most broad-based equity indexes, including those investing in global and U.S. equities, as well as those focusing on dividend stocks. Table below excludes a special distribution in late 2022.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922252322276304.png\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha - Chart by Author\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Seeking Alpha &#8211; Chart by Author<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although VIGI&#8217;s dividend growth track-record is quite good, the fund sports a mediocre 2.2% dividend yield. Such a low starting yield blunts the effectiveness of the fund&#8217;s dividend growth and means even long-term investors are likely to receive meager dividends from their investment in VIGI. As an example, the fund sports a 5Y yield on cost of only 2.5%, rising to 2.8% at the 7Y mark. Both are <em>very<\/em> low figures, and only available to long-term investors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922254972602868.png\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha - Chart by Author\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Seeking Alpha &#8211; Chart by Author<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">There are many ETFs with broadly stronger dividends than VIGI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As an example, the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares (VYMI) yields 4.6% and sports a 7Y yield on cost of 5.2%. Both figures are much higher, almost twice, than VIGI&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922257725419295.png\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha - Chart by Author\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Seeking Alpha &#8211; Chart by Author<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As another example, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) yields 3.5%, and has a 7Y yield on cost of 6.1%. Both figures are higher than VIGI&#8217;s, especially the yield on costs and (implied) dividend growth rates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although VIGI&#8217;s dividend growth track-record is quite strong, the fund&#8217;s 2.2% dividend yield is very weak, and the fund&#8217;s dividends are, overall, weak as well.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Valuation Analysis<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI is an <em>international<\/em> equity ETF, and international equities currently trade with very discounted valuations, on both PE and dividend yield metrics.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922294807648323.png\" alt=\"JPMorgan Guide to the Markets\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>JPMorgan Guide to the Markets<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI itself, on the other hand, trades with a slightly cheaper valuation than broad-based U.S. equity indexes, but at a premium relative to global equities, and both U.S. and international dividend equities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-16922445096974416.png\" alt=\"Fund Filings - Chart by Author\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Fund Filings &#8211; Chart by Author<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although VIGI does trade at a slight discount to most U.S. equities, the fund&#8217;s valuation seems quite expensive (or less cheap) overall. The comparison to the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield Index Fund is particularly jarring: VIGI is about 3x more expensive than VYMI. Both funds focus on dividend-paying international stocks too.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance Analysis<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI&#8217;s performance track-record is below-average, at best, with the fund generally underperforming relative to most relevant equity indexes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure a-c paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/48557980-1693174147491791.png\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha - Chart by Author\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Seeking Alpha &#8211; Chart by Author<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance relative to U.S. equity indexes is particularly poor, owing to U.S. equity outperformance these past few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance was reasonably strong on the 1Y mark, owing to weaker dollar prices \/ stronger foreign currency prices. VYMI&#8217;s performance was even stronger, however.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance compares somewhat reasonably to VYMI long-term, but this is partly a timing issue: VYMI&#8217;s share price was <em>particularly<\/em> high five years ago exactly, so fund performance looks quite bad at the 5Y mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Overall, VIGI&#8217;s performance track-record is quite poor, although it does not seem terrible enough to constitute a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">VIGI offers investors a strong dividend growth-track record, but a mediocre 2.2% yield, and below-average performance track-record. VIGI offers investors few benefits but has several important downsides. As such, I would not be investing in the fund at the present time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4631435-vigi-uncompelling-value-proposition?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I last wrote about the Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares (NASDAQ:VIGI), a simple international equity dividend growth index ETF, last year.
