iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE39)

Overview

The fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to the Philippine equity market, encompassing a range of companies across large-, mid-, and small-capitalization segments. It aims to replicate the performance of an underlying index, which is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index. By investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise this index, as well as in other investments with similar economic characteristics, the fund seeks to mirror the performance of the broader Philippine equity market. Notably, the fund is non-diversified, meaning it may focus its investments in fewer securities when compared to diversified funds.

Products and Services

• Equity Market Investment

  The core offering of the fund involves investment in a diversified portfolio of stocks representing the large-, mid-, and small-cap segments of the Philippines equity market. This aims to provide investors with broad market exposure and the potential for growth by mirroring the performance of the underlying index.

• Non-Diversified Fund Structure

  Despite the broad market exposure it seeks to provide, the fund operates as a non-diversified fund. This strategy allows for a concentration in fewer securities, potentially increasing the fund’s volatility but also allowing for potentially greater returns from those securities. It's a strategy that may appeal to investors looking for higher risk and reward profiles.
