Couldn’t you find the statement about the amount of foreign dividend withheld directly in the annual report? That in proportion to the total dividend received would be the value you are after.
This is very interesting!
I am in the process of rebalancing, simplifying (and maybe even merging) two taxable portfolios, built before my partner and I decided to entangle our lives and assets.
Portfolio 1 (the largest) contains iShares US-domiciled funds (and gets tax credit via DA-1):
USXF for US exposure
DMXF for developed markets (ex-US) exposure
EMXF for emerging markets exposure.
Portfolio 2 contains accumulating Vanguard IE UCITS physical ETFs:
V3PA for Asia Pacific exposure
V3EA for Europe exposure
V3US for North America exposure
V3EM for emerging markets exposure
I understand from these datasets that US-domiciled USXF (that includes Canada) but also DMXF (includes Japan) and EMXF (includes China) could be rather tax-efficient, compared to the physical IE UCITS.
Do I understand correctly? Thank you
