IEMG Offers Broader Emerging Markets Exposure Than SCHE

The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) provides broader emerging markets exposure with 2,679 holdings and $118.5 billion in AUM, compared to Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (SCHE) with 2,171 holdings and $11.3 billion AUM. While IEMG delivered higher 1-year (19.1%) and 5-year returns, SCHE maintains a marginal cost advantage (0.07% vs 0.09% expense ratio). Both funds have similar sector allocations and top holdings, with the choice depending on investor preference for broader diversification versus lower costs.
