ETF Trends says ICPY’s NAV rose 20.4% year to date through July 31, 2026, as foreign equity conditions stayed supportive, particularly if the U.S. dollar remains weak.

ETF Trends highlights the Tweedy, Browne International Insider + Value ETF, or ICPY, as a way for U.S. investors to add international exposure focused on value stocks and incentive alignment from insiders and companies. According to the outlet, ICPY applies Tweedy, Browne’s value framework to international markets, looking for value companies where key insiders are buying shares or where the company is conducting stock buybacks. ETF Trends notes the fund’s strategy is meant to incorporate a “behavioral” element, citing Tweedy, Browne managing director John Spears, who points to the ability to track what insiders and companies actually paid when buying stock, and to buybacks carried out at low valuations. The article also frames foreign equities as increasingly relevant for diversification, especially for investors concerned about U.S. stock concentration. ETF Trends says international markets have generally performed better than the S&P 500 this year, and that ICPY’s NAV rose 20.39% year to date as of July 31, 2026.
