JPMorgan International Value ETF Hits 52-Week High as 20% Gain Beats S&P 500

Summary

  • JIVE recently reached a 52-week high after rising more than 20% year to date, ahead of the S&P 500’s roughly 14% gain.
  • Nearly 40% of the S&P 500 now sits in its top 10 holdings, and JIVE’s strategy sidesteps that AI and hyperscaler concentration with non-U.S. value stocks across developed and emerging markets.
  • A $3.69 billion fund, JIVE carries a 0.55% expense ratio and a 0.45 beta, making it about 55% less volatile than the S&P 500, though financials account for roughly 40% of the portfolio.
  • Performance has held up beyond 2026: JIVE is up about 33% over the past year and more than 100% over five years, while yielding 1.22% annually.
  • Institutional demand has strengthened that case, with about $573 million of inflows versus just over $50 million of outflows in the past year, while short interest has fallen to 0.35% of float.
