EFGBiShares MSCI EAFE Growth ETF

IDMOBInvesco S&P International Developed Momentum 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.

IDMO Momentum, exported. IDMO owns the developed-market stocks outside the US that have been winning, refreshes the list twice a year, and charges 0.25% for it, well under the typical international factor fund.

Stated mandate

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

IDMO The Fund seeks to track an international developed-markets momentum index by investing primarily in its constituent securities.

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
  • IDMO 0.25% a year against a 0.41% median for international factor funds. Cheap for a rules-based strategy that reshuffles far more than a plain index.
  • Pure ex-US momentum: the index tracks developed-market names showing persistence in relative performance, and rebalances the third Friday of March and September.spglobal.cominvesco.com
  • Its peer group leans defensive (min-vol and quality builds like EFAV, ACWV, QLVD). IDMO is the one leaning into strength, and it sits in the top quartile of that group.
  • Roughly 190 stocks, a multi-billion-dollar asset base, moderate daily trading, quarterly distributions.

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
  • IDMO Momentum can go cold. Invesco's documents flag the risk that returns on stocks with past price momentum trail other investing styles.invesco.com
  • The semi-annual reshuffle drives frequent portfolio trading, which fund documents call out directly.invesco.com
  • Nothing forces geographic balance, so the book can lean hard on Japan or the EU; the prospectus notes such concentration tends to be more volatile.invesco.com
