BBINBJPMorgan BetaBuilders International Equity ETF

IEFAAiShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF

In short

BBIN JPMorgan's clean international building block: roughly 600 developed-market stocks with the US and Canada left out on purpose, for seven basis points. Designed to sit beside a US core without overlap.

IEFA Developed markets outside the US and Canada, right down to the small caps: roughly 2,600 stocks for 0.07% a year. The category's workhorse, and one of the biggest, most heavily traded funds on the shelf.

Stated mandate

BBIN The fund seeks to closely track the performance of the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-North America Target Market Exposure Index before fees and expenses. It uses passive indexing and generally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in that index.

IEFA The fund seeks to track an index of large-, mid- and small-capitalization developed-market equities outside the United States and Canada.

Why people hold it

BBIN Costs 0.07% a year, well under the typical developed-international index fund's fee.
Strictly ex-North America, so it stacks onto a US sleeve without doubling up Canada. Roughly 600 names across developed Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Plain index plumbing, no tilts bolted on: it has hugged its Morningstar developed-markets benchmark about as tightly as anything in its group.
A multi-billion-dollar fund from a major issuer, part of the BetaBuilders lineup of market-cap blocks, paying shareholders quarterly.prnewswire.com

IEFA Charges 0.07% a year, against a 0.18% median for its developed-markets index peers.
The index reaches past large and mid caps into small caps, so you hold roughly 2,600 names across Europe, Japan and Australasia, not just the blue-chip layer.ishares.com
Trading since 2012 and now one of the largest and most actively traded funds in its group, which usually means a deep pool of buyers and sellers.
Sticks tightly to its stated mandate: a plain index wrapper on MSCI EAFE IMI, no active tilts hiding under the hood. Among the stronger builds in its peer group.

Worth knowing

BBIN Not the cheapest door into developed international: VEA, SPDW and SCHF run at 0.03%.
Moderately traded rather than heavily, so spreads can run wider than the category's busiest names in quiet stretches.
One slice, not a portfolio: no US, no Canada, no emerging markets. The gaps are yours to fill.

IEFA Not the cheapest option: VEA, SPDW and SCHF each run 0.03%. The few extra basis points buy the EAFE index and its small-cap reach.
EAFE stops at developed markets and leaves out Canada, so a full international sleeve needs emerging markets (and Canada) from somewhere else.
Distributions arrive once or twice a year rather than monthly or quarterly.
