Market cap $665M

Entering 2026, investors were clamoring for international equities exposure to diversify away from expensive U.S. stocks. Most investors have significant and potentially even risky amounts of exposure to just a handful of firms.

There have been some major headlines dominating the stock market so far this year. From geopolitical risks following conflicts in Venezuela and Iran to the continuous discourse surrounding an AI bubble, several macroeconomic factors loom over the markets.

The push for international equities diversification continues amid shifting global macroeconomic conditions. These days, investors have more options when it comes to international exposure.

American Century Investments has established itself as an innovative player in the ETF space, after launching its first products in January 2018. The index-based American Century US Quality Value ETF (VALQ) and the actively managed American Century Diversified Corporate Bond ETF (KORP) are still trading today.
