Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IDLVBInvesco S&P International Developed Low Volatility ETF

IMTMBiShares MSCI Intl Momentum Factor ETF

In short

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.

IMTM Momentum investing usually stops at the US border. IMTM runs the same idea across developed markets outside America, holding roughly 300 stocks picked for strong price momentum and reshuffling as leadership changes hands.

Stated mandate

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.

IMTM The fund seeks to follow an index of developed-market international equities selected for relatively strong price momentum.

Why people hold it

  • 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.
  • IMTM Charges 0.30%, half the typical fee among international active-equity funds, and undercuts factor peers like AVDS while sitting near AVDE and DFIC.
  • A rare pure-momentum sleeve for developed markets outside the US, where most factor money never leaves home.
  • Live since 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund, so it has a decade of track record and real trading depth behind it.
  • Ranks in the top quartile of its international equity peer group on our review, one of the stronger implementations in the category.

Worth knowing

  • 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.
  • IMTM Momentum chases what is already working, so the portfolio can tilt hard toward whichever countries and sectors are hot and swing more than a broad index.
  • Roughly 300 developed-market names means no emerging markets and a narrower bench than a total international fund.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly, and it trades moderately rather than at mega-fund volumes.
