The Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (IDVO) has outperformed its US counterpart, the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (DIVO), in 2023 by about 5 percentage points year-to-date and nearly 10 points over the past year. Both funds use the same covered-call strategy managed by Capital Wealth Planning, but IDVO focuses on non-US developed markets, offering a higher yield of 5.58% compared to DIVO's mid-4% range. The higher yield is driven by international dividend payers like European banks and Japanese financials, which distribute a larger share of earnings than US mega-caps. However, IDVO has slightly higher fees, foreign withholding taxes, and a shorter track record. Investors might consider reallocating new contributions to IDVO or partially rotating holdings, especially in tax-advantaged accounts, while monitoring currency and dividend trends that could affect the relative advantage.
