This article compares two international ETFs: Vanguard's FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) and State Street's SPDR MSCI ACWI Climate Paris Aligned ETF (NZAC). VEA offers broad diversification and a lower expense ratio, making it ideal for cost-conscious investors seeking international exposure outside the U.S. In contrast, NZAC targets companies aligned with the Paris Agreement, focusing on climate-risk standards, but comes with a higher expense ratio and a significant concentration in U.S. megacap technology stocks, which may not provide the desired international diversification.
