iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) continues its streak of outperformance relative to the S&P 500 so far in 2026. While war in the Middle East and a stronger U.S. dollar present near-term headwinds, I still see IXUS valuations as more attractive relative to U.S. large caps. IXUS has modest direct Middle East exposure. That said, roughly 4/5 of assets are allocated to energy importing countries in Europe and Asia.
IXUS covers a broader international universe and has delivered a higher 1-year return than SCHE. Both ETFs charge the same low expense ratio, but IXUS offers a slightly higher dividend yield.
