Summary
$1,644 from a $1,000 five-year investment put Schwab's SCHF ahead of iShares' IEMG, which grew to $1,487 in the published ETF comparison.
SCHF also came in cheaper and more income-focused, with a 0.03% expense ratio and 3.0% dividend yield versus IEMG's 0.09% fee and 2.2% yield.
IEMG still led on recent momentum, posting a 33.0% one-year return against SCHF's 29.5%, while carrying a deeper five-year max drawdown of 33.6% versus 29.1%.
The gap reflects different exposures: SCHF targets developed markets with heavy financials and industrials, while IEMG leans on emerging markets and a 39% technology weighting led by TSMC.
