EFV: International Value Stocks Offer A Good Hedge If AI Disappoints

The iShares MSCI EAFE Value ETF invests in stocks outside the United States and Canada, following a value-based approach. This selection methodology has resulted in EFV being heavily allocated to cyclical sectors such as financials and industrials, while notably underweight in information technology. As such, EFV can act as a nice complement to investors worried about their AI exposure, or alternatively, to investors in long-dated bond ETFs.

EFV: A Global Stock ETF Trading At A Significant Value To The S&P500

The weakening U.S. dollar threatens American investors' wealth and net worth; diversifying with foreign equities like the EFV ETF is a prudent hedge. EFV offers broad exposure to value stocks outside the U.S. and Canada, trades at a deep discount to the S&P 500, and yields over 2x that of the S&P 500.
