Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF (IVAL) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in undervalued mid- to large-cap equities from developed international markets, excluding the United States and Canada. The fund employs a proprietary quantitative value investment system to select approximately 50 top holdings, weighted equally, with a semi-annual rebalance schedule; it maintains at least 80% of its net assets in such securities, focusing on stocks exhibiting the cheapest valuations based on multiple metrics, including enterprise multiples and price-to-book ratios, while targeting minimal overlap with traditional benchmarks like the MSCI EAFE Index. IVAL distributes income quarterly and features an expense ratio of 0.39%, with assets under management of approximately $180 million as of December 2025; its portfolio emphasizes sectors such as industrials, materials, and consumer discretionary, with significant geographic exposure to Japan (around 47%), Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Launched on December 16, 2014, the ETF is managed by Alpha Architect LLC, a research-intensive asset management firm founded in 2010 and headquartered in Broomall, Pennsylvania, which oversees a suite of factor-based ETFs including U.S. Quantitative Value (QVAL), U.S. Quantitative Momentum (QMOM), and International Quantitative Momentum (IMOM). In recent developments, Alpha Architect has expanded its ETF lineup significantly, launching the Alpha Architect U.S. Equity 2 ETF (AAEQ) on December 10, 2025, with $479 million in initial assets via a syndicated 351 exchange structure to facilitate tax-efficient portfolio consolidation, and announcing the forthcoming Alpha Architect U.S. Equity 3 ETF (AAUA) for March 26, 2026; these innovations complement IVAL's ongoing operations amid the firm's growth to over $20 billion in total assets under management across ETFs, separately managed accounts, and white-label services.
