EFV is now the third largest in the category, with north of $1.8 billion in AUM after the recent inflows. With EFA/EFV/VEA largely trading near their highest price levels since the summer of 2011, it will be especially interesting to see if there is room for additional upside at these levels, or if a recent developing pattern of institutional put accumulation is telling.
It is no surprise that top “region” components of these indexes, with heavy weightings to Europe (62.42% of EFA) and Japan (19.83%) are also trading at recent inflows and related linked ETFs are also pulling in assets as of late.
