The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) achieved exceptional performance in 2025, with total returns for the year ranging from approximately 32% to over 38%, heavily driven by high-dividend stocks, European financials, and energy sectors.
This performance significantly outperformed the S&P 500 during the same period.
details regarding VYMI's 2025 performance:
Total Return: Various sources report 2025 total returns between 32.6% and 38.09%, marking one of its best years.
Performance vs. Market: VYMI nearly doubled the S&P 500's gain in 2025.
Drivers: Strong performance was driven by a heavy, high-yield exposure to international stocks, specifically in Europe and emerging markets, and a weak U.S. dollar.
Dividends: The fund continued its streak of distributing quarterly dividends, with payments observed in March, June, September, and December 2025.
