Currently trading at $78.40, the fund holds an overall rank of #9 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B+ with a score of 81.7/100. It carries an expense ratio of 0.31% while offering a dividend yield of 4.78%. The substantial asset base and high ranking suggest significant investor adoption relative to the 22 other ETFs tracked in its specific category.

The fund's price and asset size reflect its status as a widely utilized option for value exposure in developed international markets.

Over the last day, the fund declined by 1.31% following a 0.29% drop in the previous week. Short-term momentum improved in the last month with a 3.28% gain, which accelerated to a 4.70% return over three months. This upward trajectory continued into the half-year period with a 9.95% increase and extended to an 11.54% year-to-date return. The one-year performance reached 28.27%, while the three-year return shows a cumulative gain of 75.53%. The data illustrates a pattern where recent short-term volatility has given way to sustained growth over longer horizons. Compared to close category peers like VEA at +25.35% and SCHF at +26.29% over the last year, EFV has posted a higher one-year return.

EFV is classified with a Low volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.76, indicating it has historically moved less than the broader market. This lower sensitivity to market swings is supported by a Sharpe ratio of 1.60, which suggests efficient risk-adjusted returns relative to the volatility experienced. The fund's maximum drawdown was recorded at -13.72%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline observed in its history. This combination of low beta and a moderate maximum drawdown implies the fund may offer relative stability during market downturns. The high Sharpe ratio further indicates that the returns generated have compensated well for the level of risk taken. Together, these metrics describe a profile that prioritizes capital preservation while still capturing significant long-term appreciation.

EFV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.00% and average daily volume is 4.9M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $23.7B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EFV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
