AIA Profile
The iShares Asia 50 ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of 50 of the largest Asian equities. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its total assets in the component securities of its underlying index. These investments also include financial instruments that possess economic characteristics substantially identical to the index components, providing broad exposure to leading companies across major Asian markets.
In addition to the primary equity investments, the fund may allocate up to 20% of its assets to futures, options, and swap contracts. This flexibility allows the fund to manage risk, enhance liquidity, and optimize returns in varying market conditions. By incorporating these derivatives, the ETF aims to maintain close alignment with its investment objective while navigating the complexities of the financial markets.
The iShares Asia 50 ETF is non-diversified, meaning it focuses its investments in a limited number of issuers. This approach is designed to provide targeted exposure to the largest and most influential companies in Asia, spanning multiple sectors and industries. The fund’s concentrated nature allows investors to gain substantial exposure to the growth potential of key Asian markets, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea.
Managed by BlackRock, the fund benefits from the firm's extensive experience and resources in global asset management. Investors in the iShares Asia 50 ETF can leverage BlackRock's robust research capabilities and market insights, which support informed decision-making and strategic asset allocation. This fund is suitable for those seeking to capitalize on the economic growth and development of Asia’s leading corporations, with a focus on large-cap equity performance.
