T. Rowe Price ETF TOUS Hits 3-Year Mark, Trades Above Key Averages

T. Rowe Price’s International ETF (TOUS) reached its three-year anniversary in June. The ETF returned 19% over the past 12 months and its share price is trading above both the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages.

TOUS is an actively managed international equity ETF and charges an expense ratio of 0.50% (50 basis points).

Reaching three years allows the fund to publish full three-year performance records and makes it eligible for wider distribution on brokerage platforms. Funds that clear the three-year threshold can be added to more broker lists, increasing availability to advisors and retail investors.

U.S. portfolios have a concentration in a small number of large technology and AI-related companies, a dynamic that has driven demand for international diversification. Many foreign markets trade at lower valuations than major U.S. indices.

T. Rowe Price argues active management can adjust holdings in response to local market conditions. The firm says index rules can leave underperforming names in passive funds, while active managers can avoid stocks that passive indexes must include.

External factors include an ongoing energy situation in the Middle East that is affecting some regions and sectors. Such developments are among the considerations for investors allocating to international equities.

The fund’s three-year performance record, recent technical indicators and 12-month return provide data points for advisors and retail investors evaluating TOUS for international exposure.
