Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BBCAAJPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF

EWABiShares MSCI Australia ETF

In short

BBCA Canada, at a discount. BBCA tracks a Morningstar index of roughly 80 Canadian stocks for 0.19% a year, a fraction of what most single-country funds charge, and it has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund since its 2018 launch.

EWA Trading since 1996, EWA is the veteran way to own Australia from a US brokerage account: roughly 50 of the market's biggest listed names, tracking the MSCI Australia Index, in one ticker.

Stated mandate

BBCA The fund seeks to track the Morningstar Canada Target Market Exposure Index before fees and expenses. It uses a passive indexing approach to approximate the index rather than outperform it.

EWA The fund seeks to track an index of Australian equities, providing targeted exposure to companies in Australia.

Why people hold it

  • BBCA Costs 0.19% a year, against a 0.50% median for developed single-country funds. The older Canada name in this group, EWC, charges 0.50%.
  • Plain passive plumbing: it aims to approximate the Morningstar Canada Target Market Exposure Index before fees rather than beat it. No stock-picking surprises.jpmorgan.com
  • Running since 2018, now a multi-billion-dollar fund that pays quarterly, and one of the stronger implementations in its single-country peer group.
  • EWA Live since 1996, so its record spans multiple market cycles rather than one lucky stretch.
  • Sticks closely to the MSCI Australia Index it promises, one of the tighter mandate deliveries among developed single-country funds.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands actively every day, unlike the thin end of the country-ETF shelf.
  • At 0.50% a year, it sits right at the going rate for developed single-country funds.

Worth knowing

  • BBCA One country, about 80 stocks. The sector mix is whatever Canada's market hands you, set by the index rather than by a diversification plan.
  • Moderately traded, not one of the busiest names on the tape, so spreads can widen on large or off-hours orders.
  • Indexing means no manager leaning away from a soft patch in Canadian equities. You get the index, minus the 0.19% fee.
  • EWA Cheaper Australia exposure exists: Franklin's FLAU charges 0.09% for the same country, using a FTSE index instead of MSCI.
  • One country, about 50 stocks. Concentration cuts both ways, and the ride is bumpier than a globally diversified fund.
  • Distributions land annually or semiannually, not monthly, so income arrives in lumps.
