The potential of overstretched valuations in U.S. equities that could eventually mean-revert is just one reason more investors are gravitating towards international equities. There's no shortage of funds that can address investor needs to diversify from the U.S.
In an ETF ecosystem that grows with each passing day, investors have plenty of viable options to meet specific goals and mitigate challenges. As concentration risk looms and the need for diversification grows, international equities ETFs like the American Century Quality Diversified International ETF (QINT) present a timely solution.
It's hard to avoid the daily market headlines touting huge moves for AI firms, or the latest volatility from the Strait of Hormuz. However, events-based news often obfuscates the subtler stories that can really define a portfolio's performance.

The described company operates as an investment fund, focusing on leveraging market conditions to maximize returns for its clients. Its strategic approach involves dedicating at least 80% of its assets, beyond the collateral obtained through securities lending, to investments in the component securities that make up its underlying index. This index strategically targets securities that exhibit compelling characteristics in terms of quality, growth potential, and valuation fundamentals. Aimed at a broad investment horizon, the fund's target index pools from a diverse selection of large- and mid-cap equity securities. These are specifically sourced from global issuers located outside the United States, offering investors exposure to international markets and diversified investment opportunities.
At the core of its offerings, the fund invests in an array of global equity securities based on a meticulously designed underlying index. This product is structured to generate attractive returns by focusing on equity securities exhibiting strong fundamentals in terms of quality, growth potential, and valuation. It caters to investors seeking diversified exposure to international markets beyond the U.S., thereby capitalizing on the prospects of large- and mid-cap issuers globally.
In addition to its primary investment activities, the fund engages in securities lending. This involves loaning out securities to other investors or institutions in exchange for collateral, which is then re-invested to generate additional income. The strategy not only enhances the fund's revenue streams but also contributes to the liquidity of the securities involved. It's a complementary service that leverages the fund's asset base to optimize returns while managing risk effectively.
