EWA: I'm Bullish On Australian Economy As We Move Deeper Into 2025
EWA offers investors exposure to Australian equities, providing diversification away from US-centric risks and trade policy uncertainties. I previously identified Australia as a relatively safe non-US option amid concerns about US tariffs and foreign policy volatility.

Overview
The described fund is a financial asset management entity that specializes in aligning its investment strategy closely with its underlying index, which focuses on the large- and mid-cap segments of the Australian equity market. This strategy involves committing at least 80% of its assets to securities that either are part of its designated index or possess economic characteristics significantly similar to those securities. As a policy, the fund aims to replicate the performance of its underlying index, providing investors with a clear, index-aligned investment option. The emphasis on Australian equity markets positions the fund within a specific geographic investment focus, aiming to capitalize on the performance of Australia's major and mid-sized companies. The designation of the fund as non-diversified indicates a more concentrated investment approach, potentially targeting fewer securities than diversified funds.
Products and Services
- Index-Aligned Investment Strategy
An investment approach where at least 80% of the fund's assets are invested directly in the securities that make up its underlying index or in investments that closely mirror the economic characteristics of those securities. This strategy is designed to offer investors a straightforward pathway to invest in the Australian equity market, specifically focusing on its large- and mid-cap sectors, with the goal of matching the performance of the underlying index as closely as possible.
- Australian Equity Market Focus
The fund's investment emphasis is on the Australian equity market, particularly on its large- and mid-capitalization segments. This focus reflects a strategic decision to capture the economic potential and performance of Australia's larger and medium-sized companies, making it an attractive option for investors looking to gain exposure to this specific geographic and economic sector.
- Non-Diversified Fund Structure
As a non-diversified fund, this investment vehicle may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. This approach allows for a concentrated investment strategy but comes with higher risk due to the lesser degree of diversification. Such a structure is often chosen to attempt to achieve significant growth by betting on the success of a limited selection of securities.
