It tracks the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index, which covers large-, mid- and small-cap stocks from both developed and emerging markets. As of today, the fund holds 8,561 stocks, with emerging markets making up just over a quarter of the portfolio.Top holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM), which represents about 2.5% of assets, followed by Tencent Holdings (TCEHY) at 1.1%, ASML Holding (ASML) and SAP SE (SAP) each around 0.9%, and Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) at 0.7%.VXUS has attracted $9.9 billion in inflows this year, the seventh-highest among all U.S.-listed ETFs. That momentum reflects renewed investor interest as international stocks outperform. Year to date, VXUS is up 19.3%, more than double the S&P 500’s 9.3% return.Several factors have driven the resurgence. Concerns about the U.S. trade war and tariffs have shifted attention abroad, while a weaker U.S. dollar has boosted returns for international equities. The U.S. Dollar Index has declined 9% this year, giving a lift to dollar-based investors in unhedged foreign stocks.Invest in GoldThe currency impact is evident when comparing VXUS to hedged strategies. Funds like the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (DBEF) and the iShares Currency Hedged MSCI EAFE ETF (HEFA) are up 11.4% this year—solid returns but well below the gains seen in unhedged vehicles like VXUS.After a long stretch of underperformance, international stocks look relatively cheap compared to their U.S. counterparts.For investors seeking low-cost, diversified exposure to equity markets outside the U.S., VXUS remains one of the most comprehensive options available. It charges an expense ratio of just 0.05%.Permalink | © Copyright 2025 etf.com.
