Our read on QUIZ
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.
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
- Active by design: at least 80% of assets in non-US listed equities, picked stock by stock rather than copied from an index.
- Roughly 80 developed-market names. Focused enough that individual picks move the needle, broad enough that no single one runs the show.
- The stated goal is positive risk-adjusted returns, so how bumpy the ride gets is part of the mandate, not an afterthought.
Worth knowing
- The 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.
- Launched in 2025, so there is little live history to judge, and it trades thinly next to the heavyweights of its category.
- Distributions arrive annually or semiannually rather than monthly, so any income lands in lumps.
