Better iShares Financial ETF: European-Targeted EUFN vs. IAT's U.S. Regional Banks Focus

The article compares two financial sector ETFs: iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF (EUFN) and iShares U.S. Regional Banks ETF (IAT). EUFN offers higher dividend yield (4.1%), lower volatility, and stronger 5-year returns ($2,637 vs $1,105), making it ideal for conservative income investors. IAT provides lower expense ratio (0.37%) and concentrated U.S. regional bank exposure but carries higher volatility and smaller AUM. The choice depends on whether investors prefer European financial diversification or U.S. regional banking focus.
