IVAL ranks last among 41 International Equity Value ETFs. I rate it a Sell due to poor performance and lack of hedging. JIVE, ranked third, benefits from hedging, different country and sector allocations, and a higher percentage in financial services. IVAL's focus on mid-cap stocks and lack of hedging contribute to its underperformance compared to JIVE's diversified and hedged portfolio.

The Sub-Adviser offers a comprehensive range of investment services primarily focused on international equity markets. Below is a detailed overview of their main products and investment strategies:
This is the cornerstone of the Sub-Adviser’s offerings, targeting a portfolio composition of 50 to 200 undervalued international equity securities. Through a meticulous multi-step selection process, the aim is to capitalize on the appreciation potential of undervalued stocks worldwide. This strategy is designed for investors seeking exposure to international markets and aiming for capital growth by investing in securities priced below their perceived market value.
