Despite the perception that real estate is a toxic asset, real estate trusts internationally and domestically continue to deliver strong results.
Emerging markets are also doing well as exports recover although the weakness of the dollar is a concern to many.
U.S. equity dividend stock ETFs have had similar performance. They under performed foreign dividend ETFs mostly due to dollar weakness. Their performance are all pointing to an up trend.
It is also noteworthy that U.S. dividend ETFs have similar returns as broad base indices such as s&P 500 while in the meantime, international dividend ETFs out perform their benchmark (MSCI EAFE Index).
