Our read on EMIF

ETF.net Research

DMost infrastructure ETFs go global or stay home. EMIF does neither: an iShares fund running since 2009 that tracks a roughly 30-stock index of listed emerging-markets infrastructure companies.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to follow an index of 30 leading publicly listed companies in the emerging-markets infrastructure industry.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One lane, no detours: emerging markets only, infrastructure only. The category's best-known names (IGF, GII, PAVE) cast a global or U.S. net instead.
  2. 02Rules-based and readable: it follows the S&P Emerging Markets Infrastructure Index, built around 30 leading listed operators, with no manager stock-picking.
  3. 03Launched in 2009 under the iShares roof, so the strategy has traded through more than a decade of emerging-market weather.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Costs 0.60% a year, above infrastructure peers such as IFRA (0.30%) and IGF (0.37%).
  2. 02Small and thinly traded, which typically means wider bid-ask spreads than the category's household names.
  3. 03About 30 stocks, so individual names and countries move the needle. It sits in the lower half of its infrastructure peer group on our review.
