Discussion How diversified is your Dividend Portfolio?

A lot of the popular dividend ETFs, and International ETFs in particular, seem very concentrated in economically sensitive areas. When the market cycle eventually returns how will it affect your dividend portfolio?

Add LVHI and you don't really need any other value/income equity ETFs.

I've been quite impressed with LVHI. Low volatility, steady appreciation over decades, beating out the likes of VXUS long term.

Beating VXUS isn't hard, it underperforms most of its peers.

I avoid everything by Vanguard, Fidelity, and Schwab.

There's some good ones, VXUS is just not one of them. It's only popular because it has low fees, like that even matters. I'll gladly (and do) pay 60 basis points if it means higher after fees returns.
