DISVBDimensional International Small Cap Value ETF

EFVBiShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF

In short

DISV No data

EFV Running since 2005, EFV is the big, heavily traded way to own the value half of developed markets outside North America: roughly 400 stocks tracking the MSCI EAFE Value Index for 0.31% a year.

Stated mandate

DISV No data

EFV The fund seeks to track an index of developed-market equities outside the United States and Canada that exhibit value characteristics.

Why people hold it

DISV No data

EFV 0.31% a year, below the typical fee among international-value funds, for a mandate that has been running since 2005.
Tracks the MSCI EAFE Value Index closely and trades actively as a multi-billion-dollar fund, which keeps the cost of getting in and out low.
About 400 developed-market value stocks in one ticker, picked by index rule rather than a manager's judgment.
Sits among the strongest implementations in its international-value peer group, next to Dimensional's DFIV.

Worth knowing

DISV No data

EFV By design it holds only the cheap side of the EAFE universe, so its sector mix and results can look very different from a broad international index.
Developed markets only: no US, no Canada, no emerging markets. It's a slice of international, not the whole thing.
Not the cheapest seat in the room: FIVA runs 0.18% for its own version of international value.
