URTH: How Will Tariffs (Truly) Impact Global Stock Markets
URTH's price is closely tied to GDP projections, EPS estimates, and stock market performance, with a 2025 global GDP growth estimate of 3.3% and U.S. GDP at 2.7%. Trump's tariffs could increase global inflation by 0.5% and reduce global GDP growth by 0.8%, impacting URTH's key sectors: technology, consumer discretionary, and real estate. Despite tariffs, the S&P 500's EPS growth rate could remain positive, potentially benefiting URTH, which holds 75% of U.S. stocks.

URTH: Improving Macroeconomic Environment Will Act As Tailwind

URTH benefits from high exposure to U.S. and technology stocks, which have strong competitive advantages and growth potential. Improving global economic outlook and rising PMI indicate better earnings growth for URTH in 2025 and 2026.

URTH: There Are More Affordable Ways To Achieve International Diversification
iShares MSCI World ETF captures a strong mix of U.S. and developed market holdings, but the fund has a relatively high expense ratio. There are multiple reasons to believe that international equities may outperform the U.S. market over the next decade, including current valuations, earnings, and macro-level risk factors. Investors can achieve similar international diversification to URTH with lower fees by combining U.S. total market and developed market funds from Vanguard or Schwab.

URTH: Global Equities Appear Undervalued In February 2024
The iShares MSCI World ETF is a global equity fund with AUM of $3.13 billion recently, in spite of slightly negative net fund flows over the past year. URTH has a heavy weight in favor of the United States (70.88% of the fund) and key sector exposures in Technology, Financial Services, and Healthcare. Despite underperforming the S&P 500 in the past, URTH is nevertheless presently undervalued per my calculations, which may also indicate that broader equity markets are undervalued.
