iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (ITWAXN)

Overview

The company operates as an investment fund that primarily focuses on emulating the performance of the equity market in Taiwan. It commits at least 80% of its assets to securities that are part of its underlying index or have economic characteristics very similar to those securities. This underlying index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index, specifically designed to reflect the performance of large- and mid-capitalization segments within the Taiwanese equity market. Unlike diversified funds, this fund maintains a non-diversified status, choosing instead to concentrate its investments in a way that closely follows the changes and trends within the specified index and market segment it aims to mirror.

Products and Services

The fund provides investors with an opportunity to engage with the Taiwanese equity market through a focused investment approach. Here are its key offerings:

• Index-Based Asset Investment

  This product enables investors to invest in a portfolio that mirrors the composition of the fund’s underlying index. By maintaining a focus on component securities of the index and investments with substantially identical economic characteristics, the fund seeks to match the performance of large- and mid-capitalization segments of Taiwan's equity market.

• Market Capitalization-Weighted Investments

  Investments are selected based on a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighting, allowing the fund to adapt its investment strategy in line with the current market valuation of companies that constitute the large- and mid-cap sectors of the Taiwanese equity market. This method prioritizes larger companies without excluding the significant influence mid-cap companies can have on the portfolio’s performance.

• Non-Diversified Fund Strategy

  By operating as a non-diverisified fund, this product stands apart in its approach to investment concentration. Instead of spreading investments across a broad array of equities, it focuses intensely on the equities that conform to its Taiwanese market performance measurement criteria. This strategy aims to offer investors increased exposure to the potential growth and earnings that the Taiwanese large- and mid-cap market segments provide.
