CGXUBCapital Group International Focus Equity ETF

IGGYDAB International Growth ETF

In short

CGXU Launched in 2022, CGXU runs international growth on a short leash: roughly 80 developed- and emerging-market stocks picked bottom-up, at a fee below the typical active rival in its lane.

IGGY AB brings its stock-pickers overseas: roughly 50 non-US companies chosen for growth plus durable profits, priced under the going rate for active international growth. Launched in 2025 and still building scale.

Stated mandate

CGXU The fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in international equities, including companies in developed and emerging markets. It uses active, bottom-up stock selection to pursue companies with attractive growth opportunities.

IGGY The Fund is actively managed and seeks long-term capital growth by investing in high-quality companies outside the United States that offer strong growth prospects and durable profitability.

Why people hold it

• CGXU At 0.54%, the fee sits under the median for its active international growth cohort and well under rivals like BKCI (0.75%).
• About 80 stocks spanning developed and emerging markets: conviction-sized picks in one ticket, no separate EM sleeve to bolt on.capitalgroup.com
• Rates among the strongest implementations in its ten-fund group of active international growth funds.
• A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, which counts when the underlying stocks sit in markets that close before New York opens.

• IGGY 0.55% a year sits below the typical active international growth fund, level with JPMorgan's JIG and a whisker above Capital Group's CGXU.
• A conviction book, not a closet index: about 50 holdings, so individual picks actually move the fund.
• The filter is stated plainly: high-quality companies outside the US with strong growth prospects and durable profitability. You know what the manager is hunting for.alliancebernstein.com
• Even as a newcomer, it lands in the upper half of its active international growth peer group.

Worth knowing

• CGXU Emerging markets ride alongside developed ones here, so currency moves and local politics are part of the package.capitalgroup.com
• With roughly 80 names, each pick carries real weight; results track the managers' stock selection rather than broad index math.
• Built around long-term capital growth, not cash flow: distributions land once or twice a year.

• IGGY Small asset base and light trading since launch. Thin volume can widen bid-ask spreads and push the market price away from the fund's net asset value.
• The record starts in September 2025, so there is little history to judge risk behavior or manager consistency by.
• The mandate is long-term capital growth, not income. No distributions have been paid since it opened.
