Fidelity International Value Factor ETF Price & Performance (FIVA)

Active ETFs are gaining traction, rising from 8% to 11% of the global ETF market. Firms like Jupiter and Avantis are driving this growth with innovative launches, while investors increasingly favor these funds for their transparency and hybrid benefits. However, skepticism persists about their long-term viability, especially in Europe.1

The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF has surged 14% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500, which is down 4%. European equities are benefiting from looser monetary policies and cheaper valuations. With a low expense ratio of 0.06%, this ETF offers a cost-effective option for exposure to European markets.2

Amid market uncertainty, experts are advising investments in quality ETFs. Funds like SPDR MSCI EAFE StrategicFactors ETF and American Century U.S. Quality Value ETF have outperformed the S&P 500 this year. These ETFs focus on companies with strong fundamentals, offering a defensive strategy for turbulent times.3
