It invests in shares of international companies with lower volatility characteristics. The fund was first listed in October 2011.

EFAV, which tracks the MSCI EAFE Minimum Volatility Index , currently has 234 stocks. Health care names have the largest slice, with 18.9%. Then come consumer staples (15.7%), industrials (13.2%), and financials (12.6%).

Geographical allocations include Japan (27.4%), Switzerland (15.1%), the United Kingdom (10.6%), Hong Kong (7.9%), and France (6.1%). Meanwhile, the top 10 holdings account for 14% of $5.7 billion in net assets.

The bad news: this looks like a US ETF which can’t be added due to EU regs.

The good news: there are some alternatives already on the platform such as MINV, WMVG and HDLG.
