help SPDR S&P Global Dividend ETF FAQ

What is the ticker for the SPDR S&P Global Dividend ETF?

The SPDR S&P Global Dividend ETF trades under the ticker WDIV. It is designed for investors seeking exposure to dividend-paying companies from multiple countries.

Does this ETF invest only in North American companies?

No, the word Global in the fund’s name indicates international exposure rather than a North America-only portfolio. The catalog description appears to mix it up with SPYD, a different SPDR dividend ETF focused on the S&P 500 High Dividend Index.

What type of companies does the fund target?

The fund targets companies selected for dividend income and dividend-related characteristics. Its holdings can span several countries and sectors, so it is not a single-industry fund.

How is a global dividend ETF different from a broad world-stock ETF?

A global dividend ETF emphasizes companies chosen for dividend yield or dividend history rather than simply covering the investable market. That focus can change the sector and country mix compared with a broad global index fund.
