Our read on EWH

ETF.net Research

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.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of Hong Kong equities, providing targeted exposure to companies in Hong Kong.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One 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
  2. 02Trading since March 1996, one of the longest continuously running single-country ETFs on the US market.
  3. 03A multibillion-dollar, actively traded iShares fund, so getting in and out is usually straightforward.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.50% 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%).
  2. 02Roughly two dozen holdings tied to one city's economy, so a handful of large names and Hong Kong's own cycle drive the ride.
  3. 03Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly.
