Description: EWY iShares MSCI South Korea November 05, 2025
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) commits at least 80% of its capital to the securities that comprise its benchmark-a free-float-adjusted, market-cap-weighted index covering large- and mid-cap Korean equities. By mirroring the index’s composition, the fund aims to deliver performance that tracks the South Korean equity market while remaining classified as a non-diversified ETF under SEC rules.
As of the latest data, EW Y carries an expense ratio of roughly 0.50% and manages about $1.5 billion in assets, with its top holdings dominated by semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which together represent over 30% of the portfolio. South Korea’s export-driven growth-particularly in memory chips, automotive, and consumer electronics-has been a key driver of equity performance, while the country’s current-account surplus and a relatively stable KRW/USD exchange rate provide additional macro-support. Recent quarterly reports show the KOSPI index (the broader market proxy) up ~7% year-to-date, reflecting strong global demand for tech components.
