Here I am a year later. I see the next payout is almost half previous years. In querying it with iShares, its due to staged dividend payments, reduced dividends and less stock lending income for the fund. The biggest holding is scary, Belgacom? lets see it gone in the next rejig. Good luck to all, i am staying in this ETF.

This is of great interest to me..

I have been getting slaughtered on dividend withholding tax. The paying agent is now stopping 30% DWT and then another 20% Irish tax on French dividends.

The main problem with IDVY is the poor share price performance, if you plot it against say the EuroStoxx50 index. Some of the individual names in IDVY look a bit iffy when it comes to maintaining dividends, for example, France Telecom.

Regarding the dividend. We receive our dividend gross as far as I'm aware but does anyone know whether Ishares, as an overseas investor, are able to reclaim the tax deducted on the individual share dividends received by the ETF?

I.E. If the French deduct 18% from the France Telecom dividend can Ishares reclaim it and and add it to the fund?

What has happened to the dividend yield and payot. Have they halved the payout ratio?

Picked some up at 1346 with NAV this morning at 1351. Just a couple of weeks to the next dividend. Pays quarterly, yielding 5.88%, risk spread across the 30 biggest dividend payers in the EU.

... but I still don't understand why it trades at such a premium to NAV.

And not just capital values, but exchange rate conversion. It's a geared play on Eurozone recovery, with the downside limited by the focus on shares that have historically protected their dividends.

"Bought by Peter Temple, FT, last week."

But he forgets to mention that the dividend yield (7%) is historical and may well not be repeated.
That said the story out of Germany and France this a.m. should, if accurate, help capital values.

Other income producing Ishares held are IASP, SLXX, IAPD, IBCX, LQDE, IGLO

The investment objective of iShares DJ Euro STOXX Select Dividend is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return on the high dividend paying equity securities of the EMU.
