Global X MSCI SuperDividend EAFE ETF

EFAS

Market cap $40.4M

International ETFs like VEA, EZU & EEM outshone U.S. peers in 2025 as cheaper valuations, diversified exposure, and stimulus measures drove substantial gains.

International ETFs like FDT, IDV, FDTS, EFAS & FLEU soared as investors pivot from pricey and uncertain policy-driven U.S. markets to undervalued international plays.

EFAS offers a compelling mix of international diversification, strong yield (5.23%), and risk-adjusted returns that rival or exceed the S&P 500. The ETF excels in downside protection, low beta, and positive alpha, making it especially attractive for income and balanced investors. Despite a moderate expense ratio and some index lag, EFAS rates as a Buy for most investment styles due to its consistent performance.

FDD and EFAS surged over 30% in H1 2025 as investors turned to global dividend ETFs amid U.S. market volatility.

U.S. ETFs have been beaten down massively this year while Europe ETFs have been hovering around a one-year high.

International ETFs outperformed Wall Street in Q1 of 2025.
