Our read on INEQ
BColumbia's active take on investing abroad for a paycheck and growth at the same time. It has been running since 2016 and charges less than the typical active international stock fund.
The Fund seeks total return through both current income and capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.45% a year, under the 0.60% median for active international equity ETFs. Below-average toll for an overseas stock picker.
- The mandate is written down: total return from current income and capital appreciation. Income is half the job, not the whole job.
- Distributes quarterly and has been on the tape since 2016, a real track record for an active international fund.
- Rates in the upper tier of its active international peer group on our review, with no structural red flags in how it is built.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider than on the category's giants, and bigger orders may take patience to fill.
- A small fund by category standards, which matters for both trading friction and long-run staying power.
- Broad international rivals such as AVDE, DFIC and JIRE charge roughly half the fee, so the active income tilt has to earn its keep.
