Our read on each fund

EPOLBiShares MSCI Poland ETF

KPHOFKraneshares Dragon Capital Vietnam Growth 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.

KPHO Vietnam, run by people who live there. KraneShares hands the stock selection to Dragon Capital, a Vietnam-based manager with three decades on the ground, and wraps it in a published growth index and a US-listed ETF.

Stated mandate

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

KPHO The Fund seeks to provide investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its specified equity securities 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.
  • KPHO The sub-advisor is Dragon Capital, a Vietnam-based manager the issuer describes as having over 30 years in the market. Local research, not a New York desk squinting at Ho Chi Minh City.kraneshares.comkraneshares.com 2
  • It follows the Dragon Capital MerQube Vietnam Growth Index: published rules that pick locally listed Vietnamese companies on fundamental growth criteria rather than a manager's hunches.kraneshares.com
  • One ticker gets you locally listed Vietnamese equities inside an ordinary US-listed 1940 Act fund, a market most US brokerage accounts cannot reach directly.kraneshares.com

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.
  • KPHO The 1.02% fee sits near the top of the single-country emerging-market shelf, where the typical fund charges closer to 0.59%. Local expertise is not priced like an index tracker.
  • It listed in December 2025 and began life small and thinly traded, so quotes can be wider than on long-established country funds and there is little live track record yet.
  • One country, one currency: Vietnam's market sets the whole result. Distributions come once or twice a year, so this is a growth-shaped holding, not an income stream.
