In this iShares MSCI EAFE ETF review, it’ll address key questions our readers have been asking about this ETF, beyond what you can normally find on Yahoo Finance and ETF.com. iShares MSCI EAFE ETF is a top U.S. - Large Cap Growth fund by assets and is very popular among individual and professional investors. We’ll cover some of the basic and advanced points you should know about EFA, such as: EFA ETF profile (i.e., what does it track?) EFA underlying index EFA number of holdings EFA historical performance EFA dividend yield EFA expense ratio Implications on investing in EFA on taxable accounts EFA beta (risk level) EFA Sharpe ratio EFA vs SPY EFA vs EEM EFA vs VWO EFA vs IEFA EFA vs QQQ EFA vs VEU EFA vs IVV EFA vs VEA EFA vs CFA EFA vs VOO
My tools indicate that EFA is a weak hold just now. This does not mean anything other than currently there are other holdings that rank higher. Buy & Hold does not beat the S&P 500. One must seek after momentum at the right time.
