EWL Profile
The iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF aims to replicate the performance of its benchmark index, which is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index. This index is specifically crafted to reflect the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization segments within the Swiss equity market. The ETF provides investors with exposure to a broad cross-section of Swiss companies, focusing on the country's most prominent publicly traded firms.
In pursuit of this goal, the fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise the index. This includes direct investments in the index's component securities as well as other investments with economic characteristics similar to those of these components. This strategy ensures that the fund's performance closely tracks that of the underlying index and offers a representative exposure to the Swiss market.
The fund's investment portfolio includes major sectors of the Swiss economy, such as finance, healthcare, consumer staples, and industrials. These sectors are integral to Switzerland's economic framework, with prominent companies in these fields significantly contributing to the country's economic stability and growth. By focusing on these sectors, the ETF provides investors with a comprehensive view of Switzerland's key industries and economic drivers.
As a non-diversified fund, the iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF offers concentrated exposure to Switzerland's equity market, emphasizing large- and mid-cap companies that dominate the Swiss financial landscape. This targeted approach allows investors to gain precise exposure to Switzerland's leading businesses and sectors, reflecting the country's economic performance and market dynamics.
