Active ETF supply and demand has accelerated in 2024. We believe a new active product from iShares is one to watch.

iShares New International ETF Takes Active Approach

Global diversification and a tilt to value are key themes for 2025, with non-U.S. markets offering superior value compared to high U.S. equity valuations. The iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF (EFV) offers low-cost, diversified exposure to international large-cap equities with a focus on value stocks and a 4.5% yield. EFV's 480 holdings trade at 11.8X earnings, significantly cheaper than U.S. indices, making it a compelling option for mitigating losses in a correction.

iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF

Heading into a seasonally weak period can be cause for reviewing ETF exposures. Indeed, last week, the BlackRock Target Allocation Team, which runs model portfolios followed by many advisors, did just that.

Why BlackRock Now Likes International Value

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF holds about 500 stocks with value characteristics listed in developed markets. The EFV ETF is well-diversified across holdings, but quite heavy in Japan and overweight in financials. EFV has lagged its parent index since inception but has outperformed it in the last 12 months.

Dimensional International Value ETF

iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF holds about 500 stocks from developed markets except the U.S. and Canada. The top two countries are Japan and the U.K., and the portfolio is overweight in financials. DFIV, an actively managed international value fund, beats EFV in valuation, growth metrics, and performance.

The stock market is inherently volatile. With the economy going through the boom and bust cycles more frequently, the extreme ups and downs of the market are inevitable. For most conservative investors, especially retirees, it's very difficult to tolerate large and deep drawdowns. However, it is almost impossible to avoid these issues with index investing.

We will go over our thesis as to how a diversified income method with low volatility could make you financially independent. We regularly write about multi-basket income strategies with an in-built hedging mechanism to keep the drawdowns to a minimum. They provide not only consistent income but also long-term growth with 30% less volatility.

How This Income Method Could Lead To Financial Freedom

The relative interest of investors in search of value outside the US has increased in the last few years. EFV appears to have attractive multiples, potentially indicating a bargain.

EFV invests in developed markets outside of the U.S. and Canada. The fund remains undervalued, however, its portfolio is also very balanced across all sectors.

EFV: International Value Stocks Remain Cheap

EFV represents a traditional profile of value stocks. It offers high earnings yield and dividend yields, with substantial US financial exposures.

EFV Is Traditional, Defensive Value

Market return forecasts favor an overweight to foreign stocks vs. U.S. shares. International Value could be the niche best positioned for the next market regime.

No portfolio or strategy can be perfect. But can there be a strategy that can work well in a bull market, a bear market, or a stagnant market, generate a decent income, and conserve capital, all at the same time? We also want our strategy to avoid roller-coaster rides of index investing, have low volatility and limited drawdowns in case of deep corrections.

The Near-Perfect Portfolio For The Good Times And Bad

EFV invests in so-called value stocks abroad, outside the United States and Canada. Relative to earnings expectations, the implied cost of equity is well in excess of 10%, although the portfolio's underlying return on equity is closer to 10%.

EFV: Global Value Stocks Look Comparatively Cheap

EFV is based on a value index constructed by MSCI, which appears to live up to its name. The MSCI EAFE Value Index captures stock that appear to be cheap based on price/earnings, book value, and dividend yields.
