QLTICGMO International Quality ETF

TACNAT. Rowe Price Active Core International Equity ETF

In short

QLTI GMO's quality lens, pointed overseas. Launched in late 2024, it's an actively run international stock fund chasing total return rather than hugging an index, priced right in the middle of its active peer group.

TACN T. Rowe Price's index-aware take on developed international stocks: it shadows the MSCI EAFE benchmark while nudging weights, and the fee is waived to 0.00% through January 30, 2027 (0.20% gross).

Stated mandate

QLTI The Fund seeks total return.

TACN The fund's goal is to achieve long-term capital growth.

Why people hold it

  • QLTI Genuinely active: the stated goal is total return from international stocks, with no declared index dictating country or sector weights.
  • At 0.60% a year, the fee sits mid-pack for active international equity, so the stock picking doesn't cost a premium over the category norm.
  • Young fund, respectable standing: it already grades in the upper half of its active international cohort.
  • Distributions land quarterly, and the fund gathered real assets quickly for a 2024 launch.
  • TACN Fee waived to zero through January 30, 2027, then the 0.20% gross rate applies. Top-scoring active international peers AVDE (0.23%) and DFIC (0.22%) charge more, with no waiver.troweprice.com
  • Built around the MSCI EAFE Index: an optimizer modestly over- and underweights names, targeting tracking error above most passive funds and below most active ones.sec.govtroweprice.com
  • Names come from T. Rowe's quant models plus bottom-up fundamental research (valuation, profitability, financial stability, earnings quality), with at least 80% of net assets normally in equities.sec.govtroweprice.com
  • Despite being new, it already stands among the strongest-rated funds in a crowded active international equity group, with long-term capital growth as the stated goal.

Worth knowing

  • QLTI The cohort's top-graded names (AVDE, DFIC, JIRE) run systematic international portfolios for a fraction of this fee, so active picks here have a higher bar to clear.
  • Thinly traded next to the giant international funds, so spreads can widen and order timing matters more.
  • Live history starts in late 2024, so there isn't yet a full market cycle to judge the approach through.
  • TACN Launched December 10, 2025, so the track record is short and assets are still small. Trading is thin, which can mean wider spreads than at big index rivals.
  • The zero fee is contractual, not permanent: it runs through January 30, 2027, after which the 0.20% gross expense ratio kicks in.troweprice.com
  • Low tracking error is the design, not a bug. The active tilt is deliberately modest, so the portfolio is built to hug EAFE rather than stray from it.sec.gov
