EFA Sector Allocation
EFA — bull case vs bear case
- A 0.32% expense ratio is a recurring annual cost that compounds against returns versus the cheapest index funds.
- All ETFs carry market risk — the price can fall, and past performance does not predict future results.
- Prices can trade slightly away from NAV, and small tracking error can open a gap versus the benchmark.
- Instant diversification across many holdings in one liquid ticker, with no stock-picking required.
- A large, established fund ($75.61B AUM) means deep liquidity and tight bid-ask spreads.
- Trades all day like a stock, with transparent holdings and no minimum investment.
