IGRO in Focus

It offers exposure to international stocks with a sustained history of growing their dividends. The fund charges 15 basis points (bps) in annual fees (See: all World ETFs here).

What Led to the Rise?

Strong performance in international markets relative to the United States — particularly in regions such as China and parts of Europe — along with continued investor interest in international income-generating ETFs, has likely been boosting dividend growth ETFs like IGRO. In particular, the tech-driven surge in China and institutional and regulatory support in Europe might have resulted in a fresh 52-week high for IGRO.

More Gains Ahead?

IGRO may continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 17.27 (as per Barchart.com), which suggests a further rally.
