EWY Profile
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF aims to replicate the performance of the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of large- and mid-capitalization segments within the South Korean equity market. This ETF offers investors direct exposure to a broad range of companies that are integral to South Korea's economy, reflecting the country's industrial, technological, and financial sectors.
The fund commits to investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise its underlying index, as well as in investments that exhibit economic characteristics substantially identical to those securities. This approach ensures that the ETF closely tracks the movements and trends of the South Korean stock market, providing investors with a diversified yet focused investment vehicle that mirrors the performance of this key Asian market.
Investors in the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF benefit from a diversified portfolio that includes some of South Korea's most prominent and globally recognized companies, particularly in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, consumer electronics, and automotive. The ETF captures the economic dynamism of South Korea, a nation known for its rapid industrialization and innovation, offering a window into one of Asia's most developed and influential markets.
As a non-diversified fund, the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF concentrates its investments solely on South Korean equities. This concentrated focus allows investors to target their exposure specifically to South Korea's economic growth and sectoral strengths. The fund's strategy is particularly appealing for those looking to capitalize on the opportunities within South Korea's robust and evolving market, while also managing the unique risks associated with investing in a single country's equity market.
