Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:VXUS) holds up as iShares competitors drop
ETF comparison stories usually put Vanguard Total International Stock ETF, BlackRock’s iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF, iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF in the cheap index camp. On Wednesday, trading showed the wrapper is less important than what the fund owns. VXUS and IXUS both cover broad markets outside the U.S. IEFA sticks to developed ex-U.S. stocks, skips Canada. VTI is U.S. focused, the one many investors want less of.
