Frequently asked questions
Is EDVD.L accumulating or distributing?
SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Dividend Aristocrats UCITS ETF (EDVD.L) is a distributing ETF, so it pays its dividends out to you as cash, usually a few times a year. If you would rather have dividends reinvested automatically, look for an accumulating share class of the same index.
What is the annual fee (TER) for EDVD.L?
EDVD.L has a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.55% per year. On a $10,000 holding that is roughly $55 a year, charged inside the fund rather than billed to you separately. A lower fee leaves more of the return compounding for you over time.
Can I buy EDVD.L on Interactive Brokers?
Yes. EDVD.L trades on LSE, USD and is available to investors worldwide through Interactive Brokers (IBKR). IBKR is the most popular way to buy UCITS ETFs because of its low FX conversion cost (around 0.03%) and low trading commissions.

Is EDVD.L a UCITS ETF, and where is it domiciled?

For non-US investors, Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs are usually preferred over US-domiciled ones: US dividend withholding tax is 15% under the tax treaty (versus 30% on US-domiciled funds for many non-US investors), and the holdings sit outside US estate tax.
