INTFAiShares International Equity Factor ETF

OEFADALPS O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend ETF

In short

INTF Five factors at once (value, quality, momentum, low volatility, low size) aimed at developed markets outside the US, for 0.16% a year. That is well under half what the typical international multifactor fund charges.

OEFA A tight, opinionated take on foreign dividends: roughly 50 developed-market large and mid caps that clear a quality screen first, income second. Running since 2015, and it sticks closely to the index on the label.

Stated mandate

INTF The fund seeks to track an index of international developed-market stocks chosen using value, quality, momentum, low-volatility, and low-size factors.

OEFA OEFA seeks to track the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index, providing access to high-quality, dividend-paying large- and mid-cap companies in developed ex-US markets.

Why people hold it

INTF At 0.16% a year it undercuts the peer median of 0.38%, and also GSIE (0.25%), RODM (0.29%) and FDEV (0.18%).
One basket of roughly 500 developed-market stocks does the work of separate value, quality, momentum, low-volatility and small-size sleeves.
Live since 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund, giving it more history than much of the international multifactor shelf.
Rates among the strongest implementations in its international multifactor peer group of 29 funds.

OEFA Roughly 50 names, not hundreds. A quality screen does the filtering, then dividend-paying large and mid caps from developed markets outside the US fill the book.
Sticks closely to the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index it advertises, so the name on the tin matches what is actually inside.
Trading since 2015, with a real record through several market moods, and it pays on a quarterly schedule.

Worth knowing

INTF Factor tilts are the whole point, so returns can wander from a plain cap-weighted international index in either direction, sometimes for long stretches.
Developed markets only. No emerging-market exposure here, and returns move with foreign currencies as well as foreign stocks.
Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so limit orders help. Distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly.

OEFA At 0.48% a year it costs more than the typical international multifactor fund (0.38% median), and well above cheap peers like INTF at 0.16% or GSIE at 0.25%.
A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads and order size matter more here than with the category's giants.
Roughly 50 stocks cuts both ways: individual names, sectors and currencies move this portfolio more than they would a broad developed-markets index.
