iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF

The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of an index representing large- and mid-capitalization companies from emerging markets, specifically excluding those based in China. This ETF offers investors diversified exposure to 23 emerging market countries, focusing on equities outside of China to provide a purer play on broader emerging market growth and to allow for more tailored portfolio construction. The fund uses a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted methodology, ensuring that holdings reflect the actual market value of constituents available to international investors. With a competitive expense ratio, it serves as a cost-efficient vehicle to access high-growth economies in regions such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia and the Middle East. The ETF is often used by investors seeking to diversify internationally while managing country-specific risks sometimes associated with Chinese equities, and it is commonly incorporated in strategic asset allocation for global equity exposure.
