Summary

SPDR MSCI EAFE StrategicFactors ETF QEFA puts together a portfolio of foreign developed-markets stocks that are cheap, fundamentally sound, and stable, all for a low cost. These traits give the portfolio a defensive stance, but one that should continue to outperform the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term.
