About iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF Dividend

Dividend Safety

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF dividend safety depends on the income produced by the fund's constituent stocks, which are selected specifically for value characteristics in developed markets outside North America. The most significant pressure point is currency fluctuation: because the underlying holdings are denominated in foreign currencies, a strengthening U.S. dollar directly reduces the dollar-denominated income passed through to shareholders.

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (EFV) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.0% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.6420 to $2.9720 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear, and the largest single-year jump was 36.5% in 2014.

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+15.8%	$1.92 (2022)	$2.97 (2025)
5-Year	+21.1%	$1.14 (2020)	$2.97 (2025)
10-Year	+5.9%	$1.67 (2015)	$2.97 (2025)

Is iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

EFV fits income-focused investors who want a high-yielding international equity fund built around value stocks in developed markets. The current yield of 4.46% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits meaningfully above the fund's own 5-year average yield of 2.84%, which tells you the current income level is elevated relative to recent norms. The 4.0% annualized dividend growth rate over 15 years is real but uneven, with multi-year declines appearing in the history. What an investor gets here is a high current yield from a geographically diversified value fund. The trade-off is dividend variability: payments have moved up and down with foreign market conditions, so the income stream is not smooth.
