SCHF: A Good Year With No Obvious Follow-Through

The Schwab International Equity ETF has outperformed US markets over the past year, driven by valuation rerating and sector/style rotation. I see limited structural or currency tailwinds for SCHF going forward, with valuation gaps narrowing and earnings growth expectations lagging the US. Japan's strong performance and sector allocation contributed to 2025 gains, but further upside appears incremental as much of the rerating is priced in.
