The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY), focused on semiconductor hardware like Samsung and SK Hynix, has outperformed the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), which holds major Chinese tech platforms. EWY offers lower fees (0.59% vs. 0.74%) and has delivered strong returns, up 97.7% year-to-date and 183.17% over the past year, compared to FXI's losses. The key difference is EWY's exposure to AI chip makers, benefiting from a memory upcycle, while FXI's platform companies face regulatory risks and slower growth. Investors should consider country risk, sector focus, and timing before swapping FXI for EWY, or split exposure to balance AI hardware and platform plays.
