Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BBCAAJPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF

EWIBiShares MSCI Italy ETF

In short

BBCA Canada, at a discount. BBCA tracks a Morningstar index of roughly 80 Canadian stocks for 0.19% a year, a fraction of what most single-country funds charge, and it has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund since its 2018 launch.

EWI Italy in one ticker, and that ticker has been trading since 1996. EWI holds a capped basket of roughly two dozen large Italian companies, a concentrated slice of one economy rather than a spread across Europe.

Stated mandate

BBCA The fund seeks to track the Morningstar Canada Target Market Exposure Index before fees and expenses. It uses a passive indexing approach to approximate the index rather than outperform it.

EWI The fund seeks to track an index of Italian equities.

Why people hold it

  • BBCA Costs 0.19% a year, against a 0.50% median for developed single-country funds. The older Canada name in this group, EWC, charges 0.50%.
  • Plain passive plumbing: it aims to approximate the Morningstar Canada Target Market Exposure Index before fees rather than beat it. No stock-picking surprises.jpmorgan.com
  • Running since 2018, now a multi-billion-dollar fund that pays quarterly, and one of the stronger implementations in its single-country peer group.
  • EWI Launched in 1996, one of the original single-country funds, and now a multi-billion-dollar fund. Decades of live operating history, not a launch-week experiment.
  • No stock picking, no overlays: it tracks the MSCI Italy 25/50 Index, and it sits in the upper tier of developed single-country funds on our review.ishares.com
  • The index is a capped version, limiting how large any single holding can grow. That matters when the whole portfolio is only around 25 names.ishares.com
  • One trade gets the listed heart of the Italian market, instead of assembling ADRs name by name. Moderately traded, with the usual iShares plumbing behind it.

Worth knowing

  • BBCA One country, about 80 stocks. The sector mix is whatever Canada's market hands you, set by the index rather than by a diversification plan.
  • Moderately traded, not one of the busiest names on the tape, so spreads can widen on large or off-hours orders.
  • Indexing means no manager leaning away from a soft patch in Canadian equities. You get the index, minus the 0.19% fee.
  • EWI The 0.50% fee is exactly the median for developed single-country funds, though cheaper builds exist in the group: FLKR and FLAU both charge 0.09%.
  • Around 25 stocks, one country, one currency. Concentration in a single market is the point here, and iShares flags that risk in the fund's own materials.ishares.com
  • Distributions come annually or semiannually, so any income arrives in lumps rather than a monthly drip.
