Summary

IShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF offers investors a comprehensive and cost-effective way to tap into the emerging-markets equity space. It closely tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which comprises approximately 1,400 stocks across 24 countries, providing a broad representation of the emerging-markets landscape. The fund has a pronounced large-cap focus and has become particularly notable for its increasing concentration in Chinese equities. This is largely due to the phased inclusion of China A-shares since 2017, making China a significant portion of the index despite a market correction in 2021. Other major country allocations include Taiwan, India, and South Korea, which together with China account for about half of the portfolio's exposure.
