IDEVAiShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF

SCHFASchwab International Equity ETF

In short

IDEV One ticker for the developed world outside America, top to bottom: roughly 2,300 large, mid and small caps for four basis points. iShares built this as a Core building block and priced it like one.

SCHF Schwab's core answer to "everything outside the US": roughly 1,500 developed-market stocks for 0.03% a year, the floor for this category. Running since 2009 and one of the most heavily traded funds in its niche.

Stated mandate

IDEV The fund seeks to track an index of large-, mid-, and small-cap equities from developed markets outside the United States.

SCHF The fund seeks to track the total return of the FTSE Developed ex US Index as closely as possible before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

IDEV Charges 0.04% a year while the typical developed-markets core fund charges 0.18%. That is roughly a fifth of the usual freight.
Goes all-cap, not just blue chips: roughly 2,300 large, mid and small companies from developed markets outside the US, so the small end is not left on the cutting room floor.ishares.com
A plain index wrapper on the MSCI World ex USA IMI Index. No tilts, no manager discretion, and it has run that same mandate since 2017.
Multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded developed-markets core group.

SCHF 0.03% a year is the cheapest tier in developed-international core, matched only by VEA and SPDW.
Tracks the FTSE Developed ex US Index tightly, one of the closest index fits in its peer group.
Roughly 1,500 stocks across Europe, Japan and the rest of the developed world ex-US, in one ticker.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades very actively, which helps keep bid-ask costs small. Live since 2009.

Worth knowing

IDEV VEA, SPDW and SCHF each run a basis point cheaper. Pennies on most balances, but IDEV is not the absolute cost floor of the group.
Distributions come annually or semiannually rather than monthly, so cash arrives in lumps.
Every holding is priced in a foreign currency, so moves in the dollar show up in your returns alongside the stocks themselves.

SCHF No currency hedge. The index holds foreign shares in dollars, so exchange-rate swings feed into your return alongside the stocks.
Developed markets only: no US names, and no emerging markets such as China, India or Brazil.
Weighted by market value, so Europe's and Japan's largest companies dominate the top of the book despite the wide holdings list.
