J.P. Morgan Asset Management announced the launch of the JPMorgan International Dynamic ETF (JIDE) on January 28 2026. The new actively‑managed fund will trade on NYSE Arca and is designed to give U.S. investors exposure to the $2 trillion foreign large‑blend market, targeting large and mid‑cap stocks in developed markets outside North America, including Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
The ETF is managed by the International Equity Portfolio Management team, led by Jon Ingram, and employs a flexible, best‑ideas approach that leverages J.P. Morgan’s global research and seasoned portfolio managers. JIDE carries a 55‑basis‑point net expense ratio, positioning it competitively among actively‑managed international equity ETFs while offering a higher level of active oversight than the dominant passive peers such as Vanguard’s VEA and iShares’ IEFA.
J.P. Morgan’s launch of JIDE reflects a broader strategy to broaden its actively‑managed ETF lineup and capture opportunities in a market that has traditionally been dominated by passive index funds. The firm’s AUM stood at $4.2 trillion as of December 31 2025, and the new product is expected to add to that base by tapping a growing tailwind of U.S. investors seeking international diversification. The active‑management approach is intended to provide a dynamic edge in the foreign large‑blend category, potentially generating higher risk‑adjusted returns than passive benchmarks.
Travis Spence, Global Head of ETFs at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said the launch “is designed to give investors a dynamic edge in the Foreign Large Blend category, which is a vital building block for many U.S. investors now increasing global diversification.” He added that JIDE “stands out by leveraging our global research and the expertise of our seasoned portfolio managers, offering a flexible, best‑ideas approach to international investing that’s built to navigate changing markets.”
