Our read on EFV

ETF.net Research

ARunning since 2005, EFV is the big, heavily traded way to own the value half of developed markets outside North America: roughly 400 stocks tracking the MSCI EAFE Value Index for 0.31% a year.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of developed-market equities outside the United States and Canada that exhibit value characteristics.

Why people hold it

  1. 010.31% a year, below the typical fee among international-value funds, for a mandate that has been running since 2005.
  2. 02Tracks the MSCI EAFE Value Index closely and trades actively as a multi-billion-dollar fund, which keeps the cost of getting in and out low.
  3. 03About 400 developed-market value stocks in one ticker, picked by index rule rather than a manager's judgment.
  4. 04Sits among the strongest implementations in its international-value peer group, next to Dimensional's DFIV.

Worth knowing

  1. 01By design it holds only the cheap side of the EAFE universe, so its sector mix and results can look very different from a broad international index.
  2. 02Developed markets only: no US, no Canada, no emerging markets. It's a slice of international, not the whole thing.
  3. 03Not the cheapest seat in the room: FIVA runs 0.18% for its own version of international value.
