Our read on EXUS
CAn active international fund that earns the word "focused": 35 to 45 stocks picked one by one, with country and factor bets deliberately dialed down so the individual stock calls do the work.
The fund seeks capital growth and appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Focused is literal. The portfolio targets 35 to 45 international stocks, so every pick carries real weight instead of vanishing into a thousand-name benchmark.macquarie.com
- Macquarie's Global Equity Team takes granular stock-specific risk while working to minimize country and factor tilts. A different engine than the broad systematic funds that lead this group.macquarie.com
- At 0.59%, the fee lands right at the midpoint for actively managed international funds rather than above it.
- The ETF runs the same International Core approach the team already managed in mutual fund form, so the wrapper is newer than the process.macquarie.com
Worth knowing
- Still roughly double the fee of the group's top-ranked systematic peers: AVDE at 0.23%, DFIC at 0.22%. The stock picking carries that gap.
- Concentration cuts both ways. With 35 to 45 names, one holding's stumble lands harder here than in a sprawling international index fund.macquarie.com
- A small fund that trades lightly next to the category's heavyweights, which can mean wider spreads at the moment of the trade.
