INTFAiShares International Equity Factor ETF

RODMAHartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) 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.

RODM Most international factor funds pick cheap, quality and momentum stocks and let the country weights land where they may. RODM's index does the factor work inside risk limits built to de-concentrate country, currency and single-company exposure.

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.

RODM Seeks, before fees and expenses, to track the total return of the Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) Index, which covers companies in major developed markets outside the United States.

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.
  • RODM The index scores developed-market companies on value, momentum and quality, then selects the highest-scoring names within its risk parameters rather than at any price.hartfordfunds.com
  • A 0.29% expense ratio sits below the typical international multifactor fund, though INTF (0.16%) and FDEV (0.18%) charge less.
  • Live since 2015, a multi-billion-dollar fund holding roughly 300 stocks across Europe, Canada and the Pacific: an established vehicle, not a recent launch.hartfordfunds.com
  • One of the stronger implementations in the international multifactor group, with the risk-control machinery its clearest differentiator.

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.
  • RODM De-concentration by design: country and company weights can look very different from a cap-weighted developed-markets benchmark, so returns will diverge from it.hartfordfunds.com
  • Cash comes back annually or semiannually, not monthly or quarterly.
  • Trading volume is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can widen when the underlying overseas markets are closed.
