What stands out in LVHI's data

International high-dividend stocks, screened for lower volatility.

Priced slightly below the typical global dividend fund — you get the income stream for a touch less.

Trailing P/E multiple of 14.2x sits just under the peer median of 14.5x. Its return on invested capital of 11.4% is below average, so the cheap price comes with weaker profitability.

Adds an income tilt to a global equity allocation, with a calmer ride than most dividend funds.
