EFG: A Strategic Choice For International Growth And Diversification
iShares MSCI EAFE Growth ETF offers exposure to 351 growth equities from developed markets, with a focus on large-cap stocks in industrials and technology sectors. The fund's expense ratio is 0.36%, slightly higher than iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, and it follows a market-cap-weighted strategy for stock selection. EFG has underperformed the S&P 500 due to lower technology exposure, making it suitable for international diversification rather than a core holding.

EFG: International Growth ETF Disregarding Momentum
iShares MSCI EAFE Growth ETF is invested in nearly 400 companies from developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The EFG ETF implements a growth strategy based only on fundamental metrics and disregards price momentum, resulting in a low turnover and a good sector balance. EFG has outperformed its benchmark since inception and several competitors since 2018, but a momentum ETF by Invesco is far ahead.
