Investors should weigh the switching costs carefully, as moving between these funds carries important tax consequences. In a scenario where South Korean equities mean-revert or underperform, VWO’s absence of Korean equity exposure would enable it to reassert its advantage. At the same time, if the Korean semiconductor boom has further to run, IEMG’s South Korea exposure could continue to be a tailwind — but that is a bet, not a certainty. Advisors should understand the structural differences between these two ETFs and make a deliberate, informed choice rather than switching to chase recent performance.
