EEMA Profile
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Asia ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to the equity markets of emerging countries in Asia. The fund aims to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index, which encompasses large- and mid-capitalization companies across various emerging Asian markets. This index is a key benchmark for assessing the performance and investment opportunities within the region’s rapidly growing economies.
Under normal market conditions, the fund will allocate at least 80% of its assets to securities that are components of the underlying index or to investments that have economic characteristics similar to those component securities. This approach ensures that the fund closely mirrors the performance of the index, which includes a diverse range of industries and sectors, reflecting the economic dynamism of emerging Asian markets.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index is structured to capture a comprehensive view of the equity market performance in emerging Asia, including countries such as China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and others. The index is adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the market, including additions and deletions of securities based on their market capitalization and liquidity, which can affect the fund’s composition and performance.
Investors in this ETF gain exposure to a broad spectrum of companies in the region, from technology giants and financial institutions to consumer goods and industrial firms. The fund provides a means to participate in the growth potential of emerging markets in Asia while diversifying risk across various countries and sectors. However, given the inherent volatility and economic uncertainties in emerging markets, investors should consider their risk tolerance and investment horizon before investing.
