URTH: Further Dollar Weakness Provides A Narrow Path To Outperformance

The iShares MSCI World ETF has trailed the S&P 500 over the past decade, notwithstanding a marginal outperformance in 2025. The ETF is principally overweight in U.S. megacap tech stocks, resulting in a high trailing P/E ratio. URTH also has a sizable position in cyclical sectors. As such, returns in 2026 will depend on how AI-related stocks perform, as well as the overall economic momentum of the global economy.

URTH: Overexposed To A Market Priced For Perfection

Valuations in U.S. markets are at extremes, raising the risk of low or negative returns over the medium term. The iShares MSCI World ETF offers global developed market exposure but excludes emerging markets, with a net expense ratio of 0.24%. URTH's high P/E ratio and low 1.29% dividend yield signal expensive valuations and limited return potential, especially if growth slows.
