"iShares Euro Dividend UCITS ETF EUR (Dist)" is an exchange-traded investment fund (ETF). It refers to the EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index. This index reflects the development of only 30 European stocks with high dividend yield and is therefore not very well diversified. The ETF replicates its index using full physical replication, so it contains all the securities of its reference index. The ETF's earnings (dividends) are distributed to the investors. The fund company iShares claims a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.40% per year. The yearly average divergence from the index performance (Tracking Difference) since 2008 was -0.64% per year. Therefore, the ETF was significantly less expensive than the TER suggests and even exceeded the index performance.
