Description: EWY MSCI South Korea January 08, 2026

The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) commits at least 80% of its net assets to the securities that comprise its benchmark index, or to assets that closely replicate their economic profile, ensuring tight tracking of the index’s performance.

Its benchmark is a free-float-adjusted, market-cap-weighted index that captures the large- and mid-cap segment of South Korea’s equity market. Because the fund is classified as non-diversified, it can hold up to 25% of its assets in a single security, which is typical for country-specific ETFs.

Key data points (as of Q4 2025): EWY’s top holding is Samsung Electronics, representing roughly 30% of assets, while the technology sector accounts for about 45% of the portfolio. The fund’s expense ratio is 0.48%, and its 12-month trailing yield sits near 1.2%. South Korea’s growth outlook is driven by semiconductor demand, export-oriented manufacturing, and a modest GDP growth forecast of ~2.5% YoY for 2025.
