Our read on INTF

ETF.net Research

AFive factors at once (value, quality, momentum, low volatility, low size) aimed at developed markets outside the US, for 0.16% a year. That is well under half what the typical international multifactor fund charges.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of international developed-market stocks chosen using value, quality, momentum, low-volatility, and low-size factors.

Why people hold it

  1. 01At 0.16% a year it undercuts the peer median of 0.38%, and also GSIE (0.25%), RODM (0.29%) and FDEV (0.18%).
  2. 02One basket of roughly 500 developed-market stocks does the work of separate value, quality, momentum, low-volatility and small-size sleeves.
  3. 03Live since 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund, giving it more history than much of the international multifactor shelf.
  4. 04Rates among the strongest implementations in its international multifactor peer group of 29 funds.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Factor tilts are the whole point, so returns can wander from a plain cap-weighted international index in either direction, sometimes for long stretches.
  2. 02Developed markets only. No emerging-market exposure here, and returns move with foreign currencies as well as foreign stocks.
  3. 03Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so limit orders help. Distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly.
