iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF

ACWX tracks the performance of a market-cap-weighted index of international stocks. It captures 85% of the publicly available market, thus excluding small-caps.

iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF offers diversification with 1,800 international stocks but has lower exposure to high-growth tech sectors, potentially limiting long-term returns. Easing global monetary policies and receding inflation should benefit ACWX in the near term, with earnings growth expected to improve through 2026. ACWX is trading at a fair valuation of 13.2x forward P/E, compared to the higher valuation of the S&P 500 at 22.0x.

ACWX: Improving Macroeconomic Environment With Fair Valuation

iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF offers broad international exposure excluding the US, making it attractive for long-term investors seeking diversification. The ACWX ETF has highly diversified holdings with no position making up more than 2.88% of the fund, providing a balanced mix of international equities. The fund compares well against peers like Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares and offers exposure to developed and emerging markets at a relatively low cost.

Investors question the value of holding international stocks due to currency risk and underperformance against US stocks. This article compares two international equity ETFs, the iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF versus the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF. While past results slightly favor VXUS over ACWX, I give the Buy rating to ACWX for what I see as greater potential from its more concentrated portfolio compared to VXUS.

Why ACWX Offers More Potential Than VXUS

The iShares MSCI ACWI ex U.S. ETF is an equities ETF that offers exposure to international mid- and large-capitalization equities. ACWX has a diversified geographic approach, with Japan being the top concentration at 15% of the portfolio. ACWX has failed to deliver robust long-term returns, with a 10-year annualized return of only 3.5%.
