The fund's scale and broad portfolio composition enable efficient exposure to both developed and emerging markets.
Foolish Take
Lineweaver Wealth Advisors’ $11.8 million sale of the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ: IXUS) seemingly represents a step back from broad overseas exposure at a time when global equities are rebounding. The firm fully exited its position, which was previously nearly 2% of reported assets.
IXUS has delivered strong returns in 2025, rising roughly 25% year-to-date and about 15% over the past year, slightly ahead of the S&P 500. The fund provides exposure to more than 4,000 international stocks across developed and emerging markets, led by Taiwan Semiconductor, Tencent, ASML, and Alibaba. Its low 0.07% expense ratio and 2.85% trailing yield make it a cost-efficient tool for global diversification.
Given Lineweaver’s concentration in bonds and U.S. equities, the sale may reflect a strategic decision to trim non-U.S. equity exposure amid currency volatility and shifting global growth forecasts—favoring stability over expansion in international markets.
