The landscape of international equity ETFs often centers around benchmarks like the MSCI EAFE Index, which measures the performance of developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. While passive investing in such broad indexes is a common strategy, active international ETFs may be able to outperform benchmarks and add value to portfolios.

The growth of active ETFs has propelled a wave of mutual fund-to-ETF conversions. Nearly 80% of all new product launches in both the third quarter and for the full year have been actively managed.

JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity ETF launched as an ETF in June 2022 after operating as a mutual fund. JIRE invests in developed markets, with a focus on financials, industrials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary sectors. The fund has shown resilience against the S&P 500, making it a potential hedge against potential U.S. economic uncertainties.
