DFEM ETF Sets $0.23 Quarterly Payout for June 25

The Emerging Markets Core Equity 2 ETF (DFEM) declared a quarterly distribution of $0.233767 per share, payable June 25 to shareholders of record as of June 23. The ex-dividend date is also June 23.

The payout comes as the fund, which tracks a broad index of emerging market equities, continues to distribute income from its underlying holdings. DFEM's portfolio spans large- and mid-cap stocks across developing economies, with a focus on value and profitability factors.

For investors holding the ETF through the record date, the distribution represents a yield of roughly 0.4% based on the fund's recent net asset value. The payment is the second quarterly distribution this year, following a $0.22 payout in March.

DFEM's expense ratio is 0.11%, making it one of the lower-cost options in the emerging market ETF space. The fund has about $1.2 billion in assets under management.

Traders should note that the ex-dividend date means new buyers after June 23 will not receive the current distribution. The fund's price typically adjusts downward by the distribution amount on the ex-date.
