Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

EPOLBiShares MSCI Poland ETF

TURCiShares MSCI Turkey 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.

TUR One ticker, one country: about 70 Turkish companies, no regional padding. Running since 2008 at 0.59%, the same fee as the typical single-country emerging market fund.

Stated mandate

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

TUR The fund seeks to track an index of Turkish equities, providing targeted single-country exposure to companies in Turkey.

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.

TUR A clean Turkey pure play. Roughly 70 Turkish companies, so the position isn't diluted by neighbors the way a broad emerging markets fund would dilute it.
0.59% expense ratio lands right at the median for single-country emerging market ETFs. Concentrated exposure without a concentration surcharge.
Live since 2008 on iShares plumbing, tracking the MSCI Turkey IMI 25/50 Index, whose capping rules keep any one company from dominating the basket.

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.

TUR Single country, single currency. Lira moves feed straight into the dollar value here, on top of whatever the underlying stocks do.
A smaller fund that trades moderately rather than heavily, so spreads can widen. Limit orders are the norm in this corner of the market.
Cash comes back once or twice a year, not on a monthly or quarterly drip.
