Is MEUD a good investment?
MEUD is a solid, cheap way to add European exposure alongside a US or global fund. It's not usually recommended as someone's only holding — Europe has trailed the US market for over a decade — but as part of a mix, it reduces reliance on any single region.
Investors who already hold a US-heavy fund (like VUAA) and want to rebalance toward more European exposure, or who have a home-market preference.
Europe's stock market has historically grown more slowly than the US over the past 10–15 years. As a standalone holding it's less diversified globally than VWCE or IUSQ. Note: the reality-check scenarios on this page use global index history — Europe's own past returns have been lower.

MEUD vs VWCE
VWCE already includes European companies as part of its global mix — MEUD is for investors who specifically want to overweight Europe beyond its natural share.

Is MEUD a good investment on its own?
As your only holding, it's a concentrated regional bet rather than a diversified portfolio. It works better as one piece alongside a US or global fund.
Why has Europe underperformed the US?
Slower earnings growth, less exposure to the tech sector that's driven US returns, and structural factors like weaker productivity growth. This could shift in the future — past regional performance doesn't predict what comes next.
