Fund Details
Investment Thesis
EFV is where the world's cheapest large companies live: European banks at single-digit earnings multiples, Japanese industrials below book value, energy majors yielding 5%+. For two decades that cheapness was a trap; the +32.4% year — the best of any broad style fund in the portal — is what happens when rising global rates and a broadening cycle finally reward it. The yield alone pays investors handsomely to wait.
Who It's For
Contrarian income investors and allocators rebalancing away from US mega-cap growth. The highest-yielding broad equity fund in most portfolios that hold it.
