There are dividends on all the ETFs we purchase on behalf of clients. Dividends are credited directly into the client's custody account in his/her legal name. Dividends are automatically re-invested.
The U.S. imposes a withholding tax on dividend payments made out of U.S. listed securities. These are automatically deducted at source before the net dividends are credited into the client's custody account in his/her legal name.
Despite a relatively higher withholding tax, ETFs listed in the U.S. are still preferred over ETFs listed in other countries like the U.K. after taking into consideration factors including liquidity, bid-ask spread, expense ratio, ETF fund size amongst other factors.
