SDEM: MSCI SuperDividend Emerging Markets ETF. 8% yield with rock bottom valuations. You'll be subject to FX risk, but it's likely that will serve as a tailwind over the next few years.
Since 3/17/2015, when it started trading, holding it would have gotten you a negative 1.39% IRR, with a max drawdown of 47.37%. Not good, although we really need to find some way to normalize these results taking into (presumably) the strengthening dollar versus other currencies over that time, to see what the results would have been net of that. You point is well taken that would was a huge headwind in the past on average might be a significant tailwind going forward on average. And somebody wanting that foreign currency exposure may well want to hold these if their performance putting the poor performing foreign currencies aside has been good.
