EPOLBiShares MSCI Poland ETF

IDXCVanEck Indonesia Index ETF

In short

EPOL Poland in one ticket. Running since 2010, EPOL holds roughly 30 Polish stocks under MSCI's 25/50 capping rules, and it sits in the upper tier of single-country emerging-market funds.

IDX Indonesia in one ticket, running since 2009. Its index counts revenue, not just paperwork: a company incorporated outside Indonesia still qualifies if at least half its business sits there.

Stated mandate

EPOL The fund seeks to track an index composed of Polish equities.

IDX The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Indonesia Index.

Why people hold it

  • EPOL One trade, one market: the fund tracks an index of Polish equities, the MSCI Poland IMI 25/50 Index, instead of burying Poland inside a broad emerging-markets basket.ishares.com
  • The 25/50 capping in the index limits how much of the portfolio any single stock or cluster of large names can occupy, a real issue in a market this narrow.ishares.com
  • Open since 2010 with an iShares operating history behind it, and it ranks among the stronger single-country emerging-market funds in our coverage.
  • At 0.59% a year, the fee lands right at the median for single-country emerging-market ETFs. Standard toll for niche access, not a premium.
  • IDX The index reaches past legal domicile. Firms incorporated elsewhere count if at least 50% of revenues or related assets are Indonesian, so offshore-registered pure plays aren't missed.vaneck.com
  • Costs 0.57% a year, a shade under the typical single-country emerging-market ETF.
  • Roughly 70 stocks spread across sectors. The portfolio build is one of the stronger ones among single-country emerging-market funds.
  • Live since January 2009, a long run for a fund tied to a single frontier-adjacent market.

Worth knowing

  • EPOL About 30 holdings in one country. Concentration is the design, so Polish banks, policy and politics drive the ride more than any stock-picking cushion.
  • Returns come home in dollars, so zloty moves against the dollar land in your result alongside what Polish shares actually do.ishares.com
  • Cheaper tickets exist in the cohort (FLMX runs 0.19%), but they buy different countries. Within Poland exposure, the fee is what it is.
  • IDX One country, one currency. Results ride Indonesian equities and the rupiah together, and a strong dollar can offset local gains.
  • A small, only moderately traded fund, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than on broad emerging-market ETFs.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly.
