That was the better choice. I’m about 30% down on IUKD since I invested. I’m not sure when I should try and get rid of it.
The Investors Chronicle dropped it from it’s top 50 ETF collection. Reason:
UKDV is still on the list, because it invests in not high-yielding, but dividend-growing stocks:
IUKD top holdings:
| Security | Weight |
|---|---|
| EVRAZ | 4.88% |
| IMPERIAL BRANDS | 4.15% |
| ROYAL MAIL | 3.47% |
| FERREXPO | 3.37% |
| RIO TINTO | 3.01% |
| PLUS500 LTD | 2.85% |
| BT GROUP | 2.77% |
| BHP GROUP | 2.65% |
| MICRO FOCUS INTERNATIONAL | 2.46% |
| STANDARD LIFE ABERDEEN | 2.45% |
UKDV top holdings:
| Security | Weight |
|---|---|
| SSE | 5.89% |
| PENNON GROUP | 5.04% |
| BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO | 4.78% |
| TP ICAP | 3.93% |
| UNITED UTILITIES GROUP | 3.74% |
| DOMINO’S PIZZA GROUP | 3.60% |
| GLAXOSMITHKLINE | 3.43% |
| PHOENIX GROUP HLDGS | 3.40% |
| LEGAL & GENERAL GROUP | 3.29% |
| VISTRY GROUP | 3.02% |
There is a lot of difference between the two ETFs, and I should have researched more. Disappointed!
