This looks interesting. Global dividend payments hit a record high in 2017 and is up 70% since JH created their index in 2009.

The report isn't a fund, just an index. To invest though you just buy a normal cap weighted tracker covering the region(s) of interest.

I thought the article was of interest, but could have been so much better, for example if it had included share buyback flows and dividend/buyback cover.
