Don't Miss Out on International Stocks!
Many investors are still missing out because of home country bias. One potential solution for overseas exposure is the AAM Todd International Intrinsic Value ETF, ticker TIV. What makes this ETF a compelling solution?
As we head into 2026, while many folks are talking about equal weight outperforming and the broadening of the market and how Russell 2 is outperforming Russell 1, this is a great opportunity to take a step back and say, listen, the broadening of the equity market is not just domestic, it's international as well. Quite honestly, I don't think you have to go too far to see that. In fact, it started over a year ago.
In 2025, the Aquex XUS outperformed the S&P 500, returning 32%. That's 15% more than the S&P 500. So, people are starting to catch on. The question is how do you capitalize on that? That's where the ETF that you mentioned, the AAM Todd Intrinsic Value ETF, really comes into play.
At AAM, we think about when you're trying to tap into international markets, it's finding the expertise of an active manager, and also one that has a really successful track record. That's what we have here with TIIV and Todd Asset Management. We have a firm that has a 30 plus year track record managing international equities.
In fact, this same strategy that TIIV is built off of has been in the marketplace for 20 plus years as an SMA. So when you look at performance, you can look at the composite performance of that strategy and see 1, 3, 5, 10 since inception, it has outperformed its peers and its benchmark for that time frame. So really excited about that product.
It's really a valuation, a proprietary system built by Todd Asset Management. When we take a step back even further, we look at the backdrop in the macro environment for international equities. We look at valuations and global monetary easing and currency tailwinds and AI 2.0. We think we're just in sort of the beginning phases of this secular bull strategy or bull market for international equities. We think TIIV is a great place for investors to sort of park some assets that are looking to increase their international exposure in a very durable, a very proven international manager and strategy.
