Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DISVBDimensional International Small Cap Value ETF

EWJVBiShares MSCI Japan Value ETF

In short

DISV No data

EWJV Most international value funds spread the bet across the whole developed world. EWJV skips the buffet and orders one dish: cheap-looking large- and mid-cap Japanese stocks, roughly 110 of them, for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

DISV No data

EWJV The fund seeks to track large- and mid-capitalization Japanese equities with value characteristics and relatively lower valuations.

Why people hold it

DISV No data

  • EWJV At 0.15% a year, it is the cheapest fund in its international-value peer group, well under the group's typical fee and below broad rivals like DFIV and EFV.
  • A clean single-country expression: the MSCI Japan Value Index screens large- and mid-cap Japanese equities for value characteristics and lower valuations, so the country call and the style call arrive together.ishares.com
  • Plain index plumbing from iShares, running since 2019, and it has stayed close to the benchmark it advertises.
  • One of the stronger builds in its cohort on cost and mandate discipline, sitting in the upper half of the international-value field.

Worth knowing

DISV No data

  • EWJV One country, one style, roughly 110 names. Nothing in the portfolio cushions a stretch when Japan or value is out of fashion.
  • Moderately traded, not a volume machine. Limit orders earn their keep on larger tickets.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year rather than quarterly, so income lands in lumps.
