What this transaction means for investors

WESPAC established a new position in this actively managed international fund, which has been one of the best-performing value ETFs over the past year. The fund returned 42% at net asset value over 12 months, crushing its benchmark's 31% and leaving U.S. stocks behind.

JPMorgan International Value hunts for cheap stocks in developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. The managers blend quantitative screens with fundamental research, looking for companies where the market overreacted to bad news or ignored solid businesses. The portfolio holds around 350 stocks with heavy weightings in financials, energy, and industrials. The fund launched in September 2023, charges 0.55% annually, and manages around $2 billion.

This ETF’s strategy works best when value stocks outperform growth. If global markets shift back toward growth-oriented tech and momentum plays, this fund will likely lag. But for investors betting that international value continues its run—especially with cheaper valuations abroad than in the U.S.—this gives broad diversification without hand-picking individual foreign stocks.
