I am just wondering if you know about special institutional rebates that Blackrock Global Investors give to institutions that invest in iShares. EEM is the most obvious example with a MER of .72% vs VWO's .27%. My impression is that various endowment funds that use EEM over VWO has some form of institutional rebate of the MER.
