OEUR (ALPS Funds O’Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF) is no longer actively trading.
This usually means the fund has been liquidated, merged into another product, or its ticker has been retired. Every price, valuation, dividend, and analyst figure on this page is frozen at the last available trading session and reads as historical reference — not a current-day signal.
The ETF previously known as the ALPS O'Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF (OEUR) is now the ALPS O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend ETF (OEFA). That change that went into effect at the start of this month.
Investors can be forgiven if they were underallocated to Europe equities entering 2025. After all, stocks across the pond had spent considerable time lagging domestic counterparts.
As concerns related to tariffs weigh heavily on the U.S. market, investors are increasingly eyeing Europe. The ALPS O'Shares Europe Quality Dividend ETF (OEUR) is designed to provide exposure to European companies with good earnings and strong balance sheets that also provide investors with income.
Amid growing investing turmoil, investors may be looking for options that have proven their durability. Foreign equities, specifically, have done well to start the year, while U.S. stocks have tumbled.
Following a multi-year run of lagging U.S. stocks, European stocks are off to impressive starts in 2025. Three of the four largest exchange traded funds in the category are sporting double-digit year-to-date gains and the one that isn't is still up 6.6%, an advantage of 250 basis points over the S&P 500.
Is now the time to diversify? U.S. markets have floundered somewhat amid rising uncertainty.
The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25bps, bringing the deposit rate down to 3.75%. Inflation is expected to come in at 2.5% in 2024, 2.2% in 2025 and 1.9% in 2026.
Declining inflation and slower growth have contributed to the rising potential for rate cuts in Europe. Eurozone core inflation has been coming down more quickly than similar measures in the U.S. and the U.K. If the euro were to weaken and drop through parity, that might give the ECB pause about cutting rates.
