INTFAiShares International Equity Factor ETF

QINTCAmerican Century Quality Diversified International 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.

QINT American Century wrote its own index for this one: roughly 400 non-US stocks screened for quality, then tilted toward growth or value as conditions shift. A factor fund built to move with the weather rather than hold one fixed blend.

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.

QINT The fund tracks the American Century Quality Diversified International Equity Index. Its index methodology seeks international core exposure by excluding lower-quality stocks and selecting companies with attractive quality, growth and value characteristics.

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.

QINT Rules-based but not static: the methodology excludes lower-quality stocks, then adjusts growth and value exposure as the prevailing market environment changes.americancentury.com
Roughly 400 holdings across developed markets outside the US, and the portfolio has stayed closely aligned with the index it advertises.
Fee is 0.34% a year, near what this peer group typically charges, with no waiver in place, so it isn't a number that expires on a date.
Running since 2018 with a multi-hundred-million-dollar asset base and quarterly distributions. Not a launch-week experiment.

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.

QINT Several peers undercut it on price: GSWO at 0.15%, INTF at 0.16% and DFAI at 0.18%, none of them leaning on a waiver.
The index is American Century's own, so the quality screen is a house view. The fact sheet also notes the fund bears losses or costs caused by index errors.americancentury.com
Moderately traded rather than a category heavyweight, which can mean wider spreads than the largest international factor funds.
