iShares MSCI South Korea ETF

Profile

iShares MSCI South Korea ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to the South Korean equity market by tracking the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index. The fund primarily holds large- and mid-cap South Korean companies across key sectors such as information technology, consumer discretionary, financials, and industrials. It follows a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted methodology, meaning portfolio weights reflect the market value of tradable shares of each constituent. Classified as an equity fund and structured as non-diversified, it typically concentrates holdings in a relatively small number of issuers compared with broad global or regional funds. iShares MSCI South Korea ETF is used by market participants seeking targeted access to South Korea’s listed companies in a single, tradeable vehicle, facilitating portfolio allocation, benchmarking, and tactical positioning within emerging and developed Asia. Managed by iShares, a BlackRock brand, the fund operates within the firm’s global ETF platform focused on index-tracking equity strategies.
