WESPAC Advisors acquired 66,248 shares of JPMorgan International Value ETF (JIVE) in a $5.71 million trade, per an April 15, 2026 SEC filing, establishing a new position in the fund. The purchase represents 1.21% of WESPAC’s $2.14 billion 13F AUM, with JIVE’s quarter-end value at $5.67 million, reflecting a 55.6% one-year gain—outperforming the S&P 500 by 27.7 points. JIVE, trading at $91.06, offers a 3.34% dividend yield and focuses on undervalued international equities across developed and emerging markets, charging a 0.55% annual fee. The ETF’s 42% 12-month return surpasses its benchmark by 11%, leveraging quantitative screens and fundamental research to target overlooked global stocks in financials, energy, and industrials. WESPAC’s move signals confidence in international value stocks amid cheaper global valuations, though the fund risks underperformance if growth stocks regain dominance.

Its competitive yield and robust one-year performance highlight its potential as a core holding for investors seeking international diversification and income generation.What this transaction means for investorsWESPAC established a new position in this actively managed international fund, which has been one of the best-performing value ETFs over the past year. The fund returned 42% at net asset value over 12 months, crushing its benchmark's 31% and leaving U.S. stocks behind.JPMorgan International Value hunts for cheap stocks in developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. The managers blend quantitative screens with fundamental research, looking for companies where the market overreacted to bad news or ignored solid businesses.
