DSTXCDistillate International Fundamental Stability & Value ETF

EFVBiShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF

In short

DSTX Value with a cash-flow lens: DSTX screens large non-US companies for stable cash flow and low debt, then owns the roughly 100 cheapest on free cash flow yield. Weighting follows cash generated, not market cap.

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

DSTX The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Distillate International Fundamental Stability & Value Index.

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

DSTX Value here means free cash flow yield measured against enterprise value, not price-to-book, with profitability, debt and cash-flow-stability screens applied first.distillatecapital.com distillatecapital.com 2
Positions are weighted by free cash flow generation and rebalanced quarterly, so a holding's size tracks the cash it throws off rather than its market price.distillatecapital.com
Concentrated on purpose: about 100 large and mid-cap names from developed and emerging markets, with distributions paid quarterly.distillatecapital.com

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

DSTX At 0.55%, it carries a higher fee than the typical international value fund; FIVA (0.18%) and EWJV (0.15%) run the same factor for a fraction of that.
One of the lighter-traded funds in its peer group, so the bid-ask spread matters more here than with the category's index heavyweights.
A manager's proprietary cash-flow model drives selection, and roughly 100 stocks can leave the portfolio looking little like a broad EAFE benchmark.distillatecapital.com

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.
