EFGBiShares MSCI EAFE Growth ETF

IDLVBInvesco S&P International Developed Low Volatility ETF

In short

EFG MSCI splits the EAFE benchmark into a value half and a growth half. EFG is the growth half: roughly 400 companies across Europe, Australasia and the Far East, screened on earnings and sales growth, running since 2005.

IDLV Screens developed markets for calm instead of size: roughly 200 international large and mid caps chosen by an S&P low volatility index, run on the same rulebook since 2012.

Stated mandate

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

IDLV The Fund seeks exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks from international developed markets through the S&P BMI International Developed Low Volatility Index. It invests at least 90% of total assets in securities comprising that Index.

Why people hold it

EFG MSCI ranks EAFE companies on five growth measures (forward and past EPS growth, internal growth rate, sales-per-share trend) and keeps the top scorers. No manager hunches.msci.com
0.34% a year, under the 0.41% median for international factor ETFs, on a mandate iShares has run since 2005.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and it has tracked its stated index closely.
Roughly 400 names spread across Europe, Australasia and the Far East, so the growth bet is a broad one.cboe.com

IDLV The low-vol screen is a rule, not a mood. The fund keeps at least 90% of assets in the S&P BMI International Developed Low Volatility Index it advertises.invesco.com
Holdings line up with the stated mandate: about 200 developed-market large and mid caps, no drift into off-label names.
Live since 2012, so this is a long-running version of the low-volatility idea abroad, not a freshly launched factor experiment. Distributions come quarterly.

Worth knowing

EFG The growth index is about half the parent EAFE index by free-float market value. The value half sits elsewhere, so this is one style, not all of developed international.cboe.com
Growth swings harder. Several peers in this cohort (EFAV, ACWV, QLVD) are engineered to damp volatility; EFG is not, and its risk profile is the choppier side of the group.
Holdings trade in yen, euros, pounds and other currencies, so moves in the dollar feed straight into what a US investor sees.ishares.com

IDLV At 0.25% it runs above the cohort median of 0.18%, and well above plain cap-weighted developed peers like VEA and SPDW at 0.03%. The volatility screen is what the extra buys.
Thinly traded for its category, so limit orders and mid-session trading matter more here than with the giants of developed-markets indexing.
A volatility screen reshuffles the map: country and sector weights can sit far from a standard developed-markets index, and the fund can lag when riskier stocks lead.
