Our read on OEFA

ETF.net Research

In short

DA tight, opinionated take on foreign dividends: roughly 50 developed-market large and mid caps that clear a quality screen first, income second. Running since 2015, and it sticks closely to the index on the label.

Stated mandate

OEFA seeks to track the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index, providing access to high-quality, dividend-paying large- and mid-cap companies in developed ex-US markets.

Why people hold it

  • Roughly 50 names, not hundreds. A quality screen does the filtering, then dividend-paying large and mid caps from developed markets outside the US fill the book.
  • Sticks closely to the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index it advertises, so the name on the tin matches what is actually inside.
  • Trading since 2015, with a real record through several market moods, and it pays on a quarterly schedule.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.48% a year it costs more than the typical international multifactor fund (0.38% median), and well above cheap peers like INTF at 0.16% or GSIE at 0.25%.
  • A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads and order size matter more here than with the category's giants.
  • Roughly 50 stocks cuts both ways: individual names, sectors and currencies move this portfolio more than they would a broad developed-markets index.
