Our read on EWH
CHong Kong in a single US ticker, listed back in 1996. Roughly two dozen large Hong Kong companies tracking MSCI's Hong Kong 25-50 index, from the first generation of single-country funds.
The fund seeks to track an index of Hong Kong equities, providing targeted exposure to companies in Hong Kong.
Why people hold it
- One ticker, one city: targeted exposure to Hong Kong companies rather than a broad China blend, tracking the MSCI Hong Kong 25-50 Index.ishares.com
- Trading since March 1996, one of the longest continuously running single-country ETFs on the US market.
- A multibillion-dollar, actively traded iShares fund, so getting in and out is usually straightforward.
Worth knowing
- 0.50% a year sits above the median index tracker in its peer group, and well above core baskets like SCHK (0.03%) and VT (0.06%).
- Roughly two dozen holdings tied to one city's economy, so a handful of large names and Hong Kong's own cycle drive the ride.
- Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly.
