How it works
PID tracks the Nasdaq International Dividend Achievers Index, which is run by Nasdaq, Inc. A company qualifies only if its total regular cash dividend has gone up every year for at least the last five years in a row. The index uses only securities you can trade in the US. Most are American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which are certificates traded in the US that stand for shares of a foreign company. Others are non-US stocks and partnership units listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, Cboe or NYSE American, plus certain London-listed receipts that also trade over the counter in the US. As of June 30, 2026, the index held 62 securities, with company values from $588 million to $2.5 trillion.
The fund uses "full replication." That means it generally owns every stock in the index, in the same proportions as the index. It must keep at least 80% of net assets in index stocks or similar investments. Because it follows the index, it won't sell a lagging stock unless the index drops it. Portfolio turnover was 55%.
As of July 31, 2026, the largest holdings were Itau Unibanco (4.3%), Telkom Indonesia (3.5%), Sanofi (3.1%), FinVolution Group (3.1%) and TELUS (3.0%). The top 10 made up 31% of the fund. If the index becomes heavy in one industry, the fund will be too. If a few holdings grow large, the fund could become "non-diversified" without a shareholder vote.
What it really costs
- PID charges 0.53% a year, versus an average of 0.31% for the similar funds below (5th of 5, cheapest first).
- Of that, 0.4% is the management fee; the rest covers other fund expenses.
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $54 in the first year and $665 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PID | $54 | $170 | $296 | $665 |
In a retirement portfolio
PID pays quarterly dividends from foreign companies with at least five years of dividend increases, and its trailing yield was 3.51% as of October 27, 2026.
PID could add dividend income from outside the US, with a large share coming from Canada. Its record in downturns is uneven. From October 2007 to March 2009 it fell 66.4%. Its worst calendar year was 2008, at −46.6%, and it didn't regain its old high until March 2014, about five years after the bottom. In the 2020 COVID crash it dropped 44.8% but recovered by February 2021. In 2022 it fell 23% from its April peak and took until March 2024 to recover. Anyone selling shares in those years would have sold at a loss. Companies can also cut dividends when times are hard. Costs add up too: 0.53% a year, or $665 over 10 years in the SEC's standard $10,000 example. Past results don't predict future returns, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Investors who want quarterly income from foreign companies with at least five years of dividend increases; the trailing yield was 3.51% as of October 27, 2026.
- Those comfortable with a large tilt toward Canada, about 40% of assets as of July 31, 2026, through names like TELUS, Enbridge and Open Text.
- Holders who want a compact 62-stock portfolio that includes emerging-market dividend payers such as Itau Unibanco and Telkom Indonesia.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-focused investors: at 0.53%, PID was the most expensive of the funds compared. Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIGI) charges 0.10%.
- Those who want broad, evenly spread international exposure. PID uses only US-traded securities and leans heavily on one country, Canada.
- Anyone who might need to sell in a crash: PID fell 66.4% in 2008–09 and didn't fully recover until March 2014.

Questions investors ask
Is PID good for retirement income?
PID can provide steady income, but with tradeoffs. It pays dividends quarterly, and its trailing 12-month yield was 3.51% as of October 27, 2026. That income comes from companies with at least five straight years of dividend increases. Payouts aren't guaranteed, and companies can cut them. The share price can also fall hard: it dropped 66.4% in 2008–09. Its 0.53% expense ratio is higher than similar funds. How well it fits depends on the rest of the portfolio.
What's the difference between PID and VIGI?
Both own international dividend-growing companies, but they share only about 10% of their holdings. Vanguard's VIGI charges 0.10% a year, compared with PID's 0.53%. VIGI is also much larger, with about $9.4 billion in assets versus PID's $926 million. As of October 27, 2026, VIGI returned 10.6% over one year against PID's 6.9%. Over three years, PID averaged 16.1% a year and VIGI 15.2%. PID puts about 40% in Canada and holds emerging-market names like Itau Unibanco.
How often does PID pay dividends?
PID pays dividends quarterly, or four times a year. Over the 12 months through October 27, 2026, it paid about $0.78 per share, a trailing yield of 3.51%. Payments change from quarter to quarter because they depend on dividends from the fund's 62 holdings, minus fund expenses. Holdings include Sanofi, British American Tobacco and Enbridge. Many of the companies are based outside the US, so currency changes and foreign dividend schedules can also move the amounts.
Why does PID have so much in Canada?
Canada made up about 40.5% of PID's assets as of July 31, 2026, because of how the index picks stocks. It accepts only securities that trade in the US, and the company must have five or more years of rising dividends. Many Canadian companies qualify, including TELUS, Enbridge, Open Text, Brookfield Infrastructure Corp., Emera and Canadian Natural Resources. The prospectus warns that this makes the fund sensitive to Canada's economy, which depends heavily on natural resources.
How has PID performed over 10 years?
PID returned an average of 8.81% a year over the 10 years ended December 31, 2025, according to its prospectus. Over five years it averaged 11.28% a year, and in 2025 it gained 24.4%. It lost money in 2018 (−11.08%), 2020 (−6.55%) and 2022 (−6.36%). Its worst quarter was the first quarter of 2020, at −32.07%. Based on price data, it was up 4.1% for 2026 through October 27.
