Exchange Traded Concepts Announces Launch of BCIL ETF with Bancreek Capital Advisors

Investor Interest in International ETFs: The iShares MSCI International Momentum Factor ETF (IMTM) has regained momentum following a temporary dip due to trade tensions, benefiting from a 90-day tariff stand-down between the U.S. and China, while the Bancreek International Large Cap ETF (BCIL) is gaining attention for its strong performance and high-conviction investment strategy.

Shifts in Global Trade Dynamics: As the U.S. focuses inward, international markets are becoming more attractive, with regional leaders stepping into roles previously held by U.S. companies, indicating a structural change in global trade that may favor international equities moving forward.

Bancreek International Large Cap ETF (BCIL): The BCIL has gained over 16% year-to-date in 2025, challenging the perception that international equity ETFs are underperforming. Its strategy focuses on a concentrated portfolio of resilient international firms, achieving high returns while maintaining lower volatility compared to broader indices.

Investment Strategy and Market Outlook: CEO Andrew Skatoff emphasizes the importance of quality over quantity in stock selection, utilizing a proprietary quantitative model to identify structurally advantaged businesses. With shifting global trade dynamics and valuation gaps between U.S. and international markets, BCIL is positioned for potential growth as opportunities arise in developed markets.

ETF Outflows: The BCIL ETF experienced the largest outflow, losing 50,000 units, which equates to a 35.7% decrease in outstanding units compared to the previous week.
