Jive Software, Inc.

JIVE

JIVE employs a quantitative- and behavioral-based selection process across developed and emerging markets, without market-cap bias, enabling flexible, diversified stock and geographical allocations. With ~340 holdings and Top 10 under 14%, JIVE balances market, sector, and geographic exposure, offering consistent value theme performance and agility across regions, including meaningful emerging-market allocations. Since inception, JIVE has outperformed peers by ~12 percentage points, driven by emerging-market and small-cap exposure, while maintaining drawdowns comparable to conservative international value ETFs.

IVAL ranks last among 41 International Equity Value ETFs. I rate it a Sell due to poor performance and lack of hedging. JIVE, ranked third, benefits from hedging, different country and sector allocations, and a higher percentage in financial services. IVAL's focus on mid-cap stocks and lack of hedging contribute to its underperformance compared to JIVE's diversified and hedged portfolio.
