Quality Dividend Growth Index and has an international counterpart that investors might want to consider: the WisdomTree Global ex-U.S. Dividend Growth Fund ( DNL B- ) .

Global dividends are rebounding at a remarkable pace this year, and Europe is participating in that trend. As encouraging as this trend is, it’s not an invitation for investors to eschew selectivity. The rampant dividend cutting — Europe was a big offender — experienced in 2020 at the hands of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic serves as a reminder that investors need to focus on durability, quality, and sustainability when it comes to equity income.

The Israeli equity market is crossing some notable milestones, and that could spark interest in related exchange traded funds, including the ARK Israel Innovative Technology ETF (Cboe: IZRL) . “The total value of the companies traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) passed above the one trillion shekel threshold last month, according to the TASE summary for September,” reports Aviv Levy for Globes .

The thought of investing in thematic exchange traded funds (ETFs) doesn’t have to be associated with higher prices if investors know where to look, such as at these three Global X funds. 

ETF Securities Australia has launched a new thematic equity ETF which is the country’s first to target companies involved in the global hydrogen industry. Hydrogen-based power is predicted to play a major role in achieving global net-zero carbon emissions.

International stock exchange traded funds strengthened on Monday after European markets ended higher, breaking a five-day losing streak.

Japan country-specific exchange traded funds have rallied in September, with Japanese markets posting their fourth consecutive weekly gain. The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSEArca: EWJ) , the largest Japan-related ETF, increased 8.5% over the past month; EWJ is now up 10.3% year-to-date.

The MSCI United Kingdom Index is up more than 14% year-to-date, but for some reason, exchange traded funds such as the First Trust United Kingdom AlphaDEX Fund (NASDAQ: FKU) aren’t getting much attention. Investors may want to reconsider the surprisingly anonymous status of British equities this year, and should they opt to do that, they may want to embrace FKU because the First Trust exchange traded fund is higher by 20.35%.

With ex-US dividend growth perking up and the Eurozone contributing to that upside, the region’s inexpensive equities could be all the more alluring for investors seeking income and international equity diversification. One way of capitalizing on that trend without going all-in on Europe is with the ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF ( IDOG B+ ) .

For European investors, investing in high yield has been paying dividends — in certain cases, they’ve been paying better than stock dividends. U.S. investors don’t have to be left out with high yield options from Invesco.
