- JPMorgan Diversified Return International Equity ETF (JPIN) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the JP Morgan Diversified Factor International Equity Index (net total return), providing exposure to large- and mid-cap equity securities from developed markets excluding North America; the fund employs a rules-based, multi-factor investment strategy emphasizing value, quality, momentum, low volatility, and earnings quality characteristics, while diversifying risk across regions, sectors, and stocks to potentially deliver improved risk-adjusted returns relative to traditional market-cap weighted benchmarks. It invests at least 80% of its assets in index constituents selected from the FTSE Developed ex North America Index universe, which covers approximately 98% of investable market capitalization in those markets; top holdings as of October 2025 include SK Hynix Inc (0.8%), HD Hyundai Electric Co (0.6%), and Mitsui Kinzoku Co Ltd (0.6%), with approximately 449 securities diversified across sectors such as consumer staples (11.7%), industrials (11.1%), and consumer discretionary (10.8%), and regions including Asia ex-Japan (27.1%), Japan (26.4%), and Europe ex-UK (25.2%). The ETF targets institutional and retail investors seeking international equity diversification outside the U.S. and Canada, with a net expense ratio of 0.37%, assets under management of approximately $364 million as of October 2025, and a 12-month rolling dividend yield of 4.28%.
