ISRA Profile
The VanEck Israel ETF (ISRA) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the BlueStar Israel Global Index. The index is designed to track the performance of companies that are headquartered or listed in Israel and derive the majority of their revenues from Israel.
ISRA's holdings primarily consist of companies in the technology, healthcare, and financial sectors, which are key drivers of Israel's economy. Some of the largest holdings in the fund include companies such as Check Point Software Technologies, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, and Bank Hapoalim.
Investing in ISRA can provide investors with exposure to Israel's dynamic and growing economy, which has seen strong GDP growth rates in recent years. However, investing in international markets also comes with risks such as political and economic instability, currency fluctuations, and regulatory changes.
It is important for investors to carefully consider their investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in ISRA or any other international ETF. Additionally, it may be wise to consult with a financial advisor to determine whether this investment is appropriate for their individual circumstances.
