There are many EAFE. This is cheap. That is why he likes it. Doesn’t have small caps.

He has a smaller allocation to Emerging Markets compared to developed markets (like US or Canada). He likes this one. Very big ETF in US dollars. This one doesn’t have small caps. He prefers to be out of small caps in Emerging Markets given the volatility.
