A Shift in Focus: The iShares MSCI EAFE ETF Gains Appeal in a Value-Driven Market

Investors are increasingly looking beyond U.S. borders for equity opportunities, and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) is positioned at the center of this trend. The fund, which tracks developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East, is attracting attention due to compelling valuation disparities and a robust performance track record. With international stocks trading at a notable discount to their U.S. large-cap counterparts, and currency movements adding another layer of potential return, EFA is re-emerging as a core holding for diversified portfolios.
