When it comes to identifying value, typical fundamental metrics like price-to-earnings (P/E) or price-to-book (P/B) are often used.

The VictoryShares International Free Cash Flow Growth ETF (GRIN) tracks an index that is built on a rigorous methodology that identifies non-U.S. companies with a positive free cash flow (FCF) trend and high levels of profitability. It focuses on businesses that generate high FCF relative to their invested capital.

A weakening U.S. dollar and stretched valuations in domestic markets are driving a shift toward international equities. In January 2026, the VictoryShares International Free Cash Flow Growth ETF (GRIN) emerged as a strong performer, easily outpacing the S&P 500.

With the S&P 500 Index pushing to new highs, many advisors are confronting a familiar challenge: how to maintain equity exposure without taking on unnecessary valuation risk.

With the S&P 500 posting multiple record highs this year, many investors are questioning whether valuations have peaked—and whether now is the right time to commit new capital. That uncertainty can lead to hesitation or even sitting on the sidelines.

When it comes to seeking growth-oriented, profitable companies with a penchant for generating free cash flow (FCF), investors may be missing out on opportunities if they adhere to a home country bias. However, they may be able to overcome this with the right exposure.
