The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Korea Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index and in investments with substantially identical economic characteristics. The underlying index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted benchmark designed to measure the large- and mid-capitalization segments of the South Korean equity market. The fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate holdings in fewer issuers than a diversified fund.
EWY provides investors with targeted exposure to South Korean large- and mid-cap equities, a market heavily weighted toward sectors such as information technology (notably semiconductors), consumer electronics, automotive manufacturing, and shipbuilding. As a focused regional ETF, it offers a single-instrument way to access Koreas export-oriented economy, which is dominated by globally significant industrial conglomerates.
