Our read on BKIE
ABNY Mellon's low-cost swing at the international index giants: roughly 1,000 large-cap stocks from developed markets outside the US at 0.04% a year, tracking a Morningstar benchmark instead of the MSCI and FTSE indexes its biggest rivals follow.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the Morningstar® Developed Markets ex-US Large Cap Index.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.04% a year, well under the typical fee in its developed-international peer group, and level with the cheapest core options from iShares, Vanguard and Schwab.
- Tracks its index about as tightly as anything in the category. The mandate is plain: match the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Large Cap Index, nothing else.
- About 1,000 large-cap names across developed markets outside the US in one ticker, with quarterly distributions.
- A multi-billion-dollar fund that stands in the upper half of a 26-fund developed-international cohort stacked with the industry's biggest index names.
Worth knowing
- Only moderately traded next to category heavyweights like VEA and SCHF, so spreads can be wider. Limit orders are the standard tool here.
- Launched in 2020, so the track record is shorter than the decades-old funds it competes with.
- Developed markets only. No US stocks, no emerging markets, no small caps. It is one slice of a portfolio, not the whole thing.
