VXUS - VXUS Vs. IXUS: A Case Where The Chosen Index Is Not Critical

• The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF invests based on the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index.
• The iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF invests based on the MSCI ACWI ex USA IMI Index.
• While both ETFs have provided similar return and risk profiles, the decision could come down to which managing firm the investors prefer.
• For those investors looking to add international equity exposure with one ETF, I would rate both as a Buy, though VXUS has some advantages.
