Our read on QUIZ

ETF.net Research

DZacks, the research shop, takes its stock picking overseas: an active, roughly 80-name portfolio of developed-market companies, launched in 2025. High-conviction abroad, priced like the active product it is.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks positive risk-adjusted returns by investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities, including common stock and depositary receipts, issued by publicly listed companies in non-U.S. markets.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Active by design: at least 80% of assets in non-US listed equities, picked stock by stock rather than copied from an index.
  2. 02Roughly 80 developed-market names. Focused enough that individual picks move the needle, broad enough that no single one runs the show.
  3. 03The stated goal is positive risk-adjusted returns, so how bumpy the ride gets is part of the mandate, not an afterthought.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The 1.26% expense ratio sits at the premium end of international stock funds; broad rivals such as AVDE and DFIC run at a small fraction of that.
  2. 02Launched in 2025, so there is little live history to judge, and it trades thinly next to the heavyweights of its category.
  3. 03Distributions arrive annually or semiannually rather than monthly, so any income lands in lumps.
