Top Performing Dividend ETFs

Below is a list of the 20 best performing dividend ETFs over the past year. ETFs were ranked by 1 year performance and were required to have a 3% minimum dividend yield. One year ago, we were on the cusp of a market meltdown. Not suprisingly, since that time US treasury bonds have performed well. Interestingly, the Malaysia, a country many US investors may be unfamiliar with, made the top 10 in the form of EWM. The top performing dividend ETF has been PCY, the emerging markets sovereign debt. This indicates some willingness by investors, even the midst of global financial challenges, to look outside the US for yield.
