Vanguard's international dividend ETF VYMI outperforms US counterpart VYM with higher yield and lower fees.

Vanguard's International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) offers a higher yield and has outperformed its well-known US sibling, VYM, over the past year.

While VYMI's distributions vary quarterly due to foreign payout schedules, it remains a cost-effective way for investors to access higher international dividend income. Investors seeking maximum yield might prefer IDV despite its higher fees and concentration risks, while those favoring US exposure and smoother distributions may stick with VYM.
