International developed equities offer meaningful diversification benefits at a time when U.S. markets have become increasingly concentrated in a narrow group of large technology companies. The backdrop is also shifting. After a prolonged period of U.S. outperformance over the past decade, international stocks are beginning to gain ground, with the relative performance gap narrowing since late 2024. VEFA is designed to capture this opportunity by tracking the MSCI EAFE Analyst Sentiment Select Index, which draws from the approximately 800 constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index spanning 21 developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada, and applies a rules-based process to overweight companies with improving analyst outlooks.
