These results compare with a 18.43% gain for the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index. For information on returns for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to capitalgroup.com/ETF-returns What factors influenced results During the past twelve months, the United States saw economic growth driven by recovery in labor markets and increased supply of goods. In Europe, the market saw positive momentum attributed to decreased natural gas prices and increased manufacturing activity. However, the United Kingdom experienced stagnant growth, with inflation decreasing at a slower rate. In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan and India saw growth in corporate profits, while China faced an economic slowdown due to a downturn in the real estate sector. Since the fund’s inception as of September 26, 2023, holdings in most equity sectors produced positive returns for the fund, with shares of health care, industrials and energy companies particularly additive to results. Shares of companies based in the United States, the Eurozone and developing markets around the globe were likewise additive. Investments in consumer staples and materials companies posted negative returns on average, while real estate and financials shares were neutral overall. The fund’s holdings in Japanese companies likewise saw negative returns, along with Canadian holdings. | |
