EAFGDPacer Developed Markets Cash Cows Growth Leaders ETF

IDHQBInvesco S&P International Developed Quality ETF

In short

EAFG Pacer's Cash Cows playbook sent overseas with a growth tilt: developed-market large and mid caps screened on free cash flow, growth, momentum and profitability. A 2024 arrival in an aisle long ruled by min-vol veterans.

IDHQ One of the longest-running international quality funds: since 2007 it has held the developed ex-US names scoring highest on return on equity, accruals and leverage, for a fee below the typical international-factor rate.

Stated mandate

EAFG The fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Pacer Developed Markets Cash Cows Growth Leaders Index. Its strategy targets developed-markets large- and mid-capitalization companies using free cash flow and growth-oriented screening.

IDHQ The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the investment results of the S&P Quality Developed ex-U.S. LargeMidCap Index. It uses an index-based strategy focused on international developed-market equities selected for quality.

Why people hold it

  • EAFG Screens developed large and mid caps on free cash flow, then leans growth, momentum and profitability. A cash-generation lens in a corner of the market that mostly sells low volatility.paceretfs.com
  • Rules-based and readable: it tracks the Pacer Developed Markets Cash Cows Growth Leaders Index, holds roughly 110 stocks, and pays quarterly inside a plain 1940 Act ETF wrapper.paceretfs.com
  • Sits apart from shelf-mates like EFAV, ACWV and QLVD, which tilt toward low volatility and quality. EAFG starts from cash generation and growth instead.
  • IDHQ Quality is defined, not vibes: return on equity, accruals ratio and financial leverage ratio, applied to the top slice of the developed ex-US large- and mid-cap universe.spglobal.cominvesco.com
  • 0.29% a year runs below the typical fee in its international-factor group, and the fund has tracked its index closely.
  • Running since 2007, with a live record through the financial crisis and everything since. The screen refreshes on a set schedule each June and December.invesco.com
  • Country, sector and single-stock caps keep the quality screen from turning the portfolio into one concentrated country or sector bet.spglobal.comprnewswire.com

Worth knowing

  • EAFG Charges 0.65% a year, above what the typical developed-markets factor fund costs. The screen carries a higher toll than an index-hugging alternative.
  • A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can run wider and less predictable than in the giant developed-markets index products.
  • Launched in 2024, so the track record is short: no full market cycle yet to show how a cash-flow-plus-growth screen behaves overseas.
  • IDHQ Roughly 200 stocks from a much wider developed ex-US universe, so its country and sector mix can sit far from the standard international benchmark.spglobal.com
  • Cohort peers EFAV and ACWV target minimum volatility. This one screens for quality only and makes no attempt to damp market swings.
  • A mid-size, moderately traded fund rather than a giant of the category, so order size and spreads matter more than with the biggest names.
