Last updated: 2026-10-03

Category
The fund provides exposure to US large-cap shares selected for value characteristics. Value-focused portfolios can span different industries and business types; IVE’s mix includes technology, financial services, healthcare, energy and consumer companies.
Value investing focuses on companies selected for value characteristics, rather than relying solely on broad market-capitalisation weighting. IVE’s portfolio illustrates that this approach can still include substantial exposure to large technology businesses alongside financial, healthcare, energy and consumer companies.

Risks
Who it may suit
IVE may interest investors researching diversified exposure to large US companies selected for value characteristics. For Australian investors, the fund’s US share exposure also means returns in Australian dollars can be affected by currency movements. Whether it fits depends on individual objectives, financial circumstances and needs.
Key risks
IVE is exposed to sharemarket declines and can lag other investment styles when value-oriented companies are out of favour. Its substantial US exposure, sizeable technology allocation and largest holding’s weight create concentration risks. Australian investors also face currency fluctuations between the US dollar and Australian dollar, which can affect returns measured in Australian dollars.
