Our read on EIS

ETF.net Research

In short

COne ticker for the whole Israeli stock market: roughly 120 names, large down to small, tracked through an MSCI index and packaged by iShares since 2008.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index composed of Israeli equities, providing targeted exposure to companies in Israel.

Why people hold it

  • "Investable Market" in the index name means mid and small caps ride along, roughly 120 holdings instead of a top-ten roster of giants.ishares.com
  • Live since March 2008, so it comes with a long public record across multiple market cycles rather than a short history and a backtest.
  • The index is capped, which limits how much of the fund any single company can occupy in a market where a few names loom large.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • At 0.59%, it runs above the roughly 0.50% median for single-country developed-market funds, and well above index peers such as FLKR at 0.09%.
  • One country, one currency, one headline cycle. A single-country fund concentrates risks that a regional or global mandate would spread around.
  • Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, not on a quarterly drumbeat, so cash lands in lumps.
