DIHPBDimensional International High Profitability ETF

IQLTBiShares MSCI Intl Quality Factor ETF

In short

DIHP Dimensional took its profitability screen overseas: roughly 500 large non-US companies, each judged against rivals in its own country or region, not one global yardstick. Fees land under the typical international factor fund.

IQLT Quality investing abroad, with the sector bets stripped out. IQLT holds developed-market companies picked for high return on equity, stable earnings and low debt, while keeping sector weights close to the broad market.

Stated mandate

DIHP The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in large non-U.S. companies selected for relatively high profitability within their country or region.

IQLT The fund seeks to track an index of international developed-market stocks selected for high return on equity, stable earnings, and low debt.

Why people hold it

  • DIHP Costs 0.27% a year, well under the 0.41% median expense ratio for its international factor peer group.
  • Profitability is measured within a company's own country or region, so the screen doesn't quietly become a bet on whichever markets happen to look richest.
  • Roughly 500 large non-US names, so the factor is spread across a wide bench rather than a concentrated handful. Distributions come quarterly.
  • Sits in the upper half of its 18-fund international factor cohort on our review.
  • IQLT The screen is refreshingly plain: high return on equity, stable earnings, low debt, spread across roughly 300 developed-market companies outside the US.ishares.com
  • Sector neutral by design. The quality tilt shows up in which companies it owns, not as a quiet overweight to whatever sector screens well that year.ishares.com
  • 0.30% a year, below the typical international factor fund, and it has been running since 2015.
  • A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, which puts it among the more established ways to own the quality factor overseas.

Worth knowing

  • DIHP A profitability tilt is a deliberate deviation, so the fund can behave quite differently from a plain international index in either direction.
  • Launched in 2022, so the live record is short compared with long-standing factor funds in the same aisle.
  • Cheaper shelf-mates exist (QLVD, EFAV and ACWV all list lower), though they screen for low volatility or quality rather than profitability.
  • IQLT Developed markets outside the US only. No American stocks, no emerging markets, so it fills one slot rather than covering the whole map.
  • A quality screen narrows the field to profitable, low-debt names, so results can diverge from the broad international market in either direction.
  • Cheaper factor options sit in the same aisle (QLVD, EFAV, ACWV), though each runs a different screen rather than sector-neutral quality.
