EFVAiShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF

VDVBVanguard Developed Markets Ex-US Value Index ETF

In short

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.

VDV No data

Stated mandate

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

VDV No data

Why people hold it

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.

VDV No data

Worth knowing

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.
