FIVA delivers a stellar year for international value investors

The Fidelity International Value Factor ETF (FIVA) showed remarkable strength over the past year, significantly beating its benchmark, iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA), and rewarding investors who embraced international equities. FIVA invests in value‑oriented companies across developed international markets — a mix of large‑ and mid‑cap firms — offering diversification beyond U.S. stocks. Despite lagging a few peers recently, FIVA's long‑term performance remains impressive, suggesting that its value‑based strategy is paying off, especially as global markets regain footing. For investors seeking global exposure without chasing fads or overhyped growth names, FIVA stands out as a solid option — historically delivering strong returns while maintaining reasonable valuations. #FIVA #InternationalValue #ETF #GlobalMarkets #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
