EWA Profile
The iShares MSCI Australia ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers investors targeted exposure to the Australian equity market. The fund is designed to track the performance of the MSCI Australia Index, which encompasses a broad range of large- and mid-capitalization companies listed on Australian stock exchanges. To achieve its investment objective, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that are constituents of this index, as well as in investments with economic characteristics similar to those of the index components.
The MSCI Australia Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index that captures the performance of key Australian equities. It includes companies across various sectors, including financials, materials, healthcare, and energy, reflecting the diverse nature of the Australian economy. By mirroring this index, the fund provides investors with a comprehensive view of the largest and most influential companies in Australia, offering insights into the country's economic trends and market dynamics.
The fund’s investment strategy ensures that it remains closely aligned with the performance of the MSCI Australia Index, adjusting its holdings as needed to reflect changes in the index’s composition or market conditions. This approach allows the ETF to offer investors a representative and up-to-date snapshot of the Australian equity market. As a non-diversified fund, it concentrates its investments solely within the Australian market, focusing on companies listed in this region.
With its focus on large- and mid-cap Australian stocks, the iShares MSCI Australia ETF is suited for investors seeking exposure to a broad array of leading Australian companies.
