JPMorgan International Value ETF delivered ~30% gains since my September Buy recommendation, outperforming peers like EFV. JIVE's portfolio has shifted toward higher tech and Korean exposure, with increased stock-level concentration, altering its previous value and resilience profile. The combined exposure to rate-sensitive sectors—tech and financials—has risen, making JIVE more sensitive to rate and liquidity dynamics.
JIVE's active management, high portfolio turnover, and concentrated financials exposure drive alpha, with 1Y alpha at +12.3% versus peers and benchmarks. Forward P/E multiples for JIVE's core regions and sectors are near 90th percentile (according to my reworking of the data). This would limit a further multiple expansion and is therefore a negative pressure on the growth of JIVE's price.
JPMorgan International Value ETF has outperformed major U.S. and international peers, delivering over 36% returns in the past year. JIVE's actively managed strategy targets undervalued foreign large-value stocks, with a 0.55% expense ratio and a $1B+ AUM since its 2023 launch. The ETF's portfolio is concentrated in financials (36%), with significant EMEA and Asia ex-Japan exposure, and includes globally recognized holdings.

The fund offers a broad range of investment products and services tailored to suit the needs of individuals and institutions seeking exposure to foreign equity markets. Each product and service is designed to tap into the diverse opportunities provided by developed and emerging markets worldwide.
This core offering includes stocks and shares of foreign companies, allowing investors to gain direct exposure to individual companies' performance across a wide range of sectors and countries. It represents an opportunity to benefit from the growth of companies outside the investor's home country.
Aside from direct equity investments, the fund also invests in equity-related instruments, such as options, futures, ETFs, and ADRs (American Depository Receipts). These instruments can offer the advantages of equity investments with potentially different risk profiles and can be used to implement a variety of investment strategies, from conservative to aggressive.
