European ETFs gain as advisors rotate toward developed Europe equities
Vanguard’s VGK is up 12% year to date, while iShares IEUR has collected $1.6 billion in net inflows this year and JPMorgan’s BBEU added $4 billion over the past year.
European equities are seeing renewed investor interest as developed Europe ETFs regain momentum, with ETF Trends pointing to accelerating corporate earnings and a supportive macro backdrop behind the shift in market dynamics.
According to the outlet, advisors are using both low-cost core funds and higher-conviction factor strategies to build international exposure. The article highlights Vanguard’s Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) as a bellwether, citing 12% year-to-date total return performance.
The piece also notes continued inflows into benchmark-tracking options, including iShares Core MSCI Europe ETF (IEUR), which has gathered $1.6 billion in net inflows this year. It further cites JPMorgan BetaBuilders Europe ETF (BBEU) as drawing $4 billion in new money over the past year, supported by its low-fee structure.
ETF Trends adds that some investors are leaning into smart-beta approaches that tilt toward company fundamentals. It cites WisdomTree European Opportunities Fund (OPPE) up 19% year to date, with the fund targeting attributes such as superior earnings growth, strong return on equity, and healthy cash-flow generation, alongside lower technology exposure than typical cap-weighted indexes.
