KSA: Not The Cheapest Saudi Approach
The iShares MSCI Saudi Arabia ETF offers liquid, cap-weighted exposure to Saudi equities, heavily skewed toward financials and the oil value chain. KSA's 0.75% expense ratio is notably higher than similar alternatives like FLSA, making it less attractive for Saudi exposure. Yield curve flattening and rising short-term rates threaten bank profitability, which dominates KSA's portfolio; the oil sector faces geopolitical and supply risks but price upside.
