- iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF (EPU) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI All Peru Capped Index, providing investors with broad exposure to Peruvian equities and companies with significant economic ties to Peru. Managed passively by BlackRock, the ETF employs a representative sampling strategy to replicate the benchmark's performance across all market capitalizations, with holdings primarily in mining, financial services, energy, and consumer sectors such as Credicorp Ltd., Southern Copper Corp., MMG Ltd., Volcan Compania Minera SA, and Pan American Silver Corp.; it applies 25/50 weight capping to ensure diversification, targeting at least 25 securities and 20 issuers classified in Peru. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.59% and distributes dividends semi-annually, appealing to investors seeking emerging market exposure outside the U.S.. Launched on June 19, 2009, and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware as part of iShares Trust under BlackRock Inc., EPU trades on the NYSE Arca exchange with assets under management exceeding $250 million as of late 2025. In a key development prior to April 10, 2023, the fund underwent a name change from iShares MSCI Peru ETF to its current designation, reflecting an expanded index methodology that incorporates global companies with substantial Peruvian economic exposure in assets, revenues, or operations; this rebranding aligned with quarterly index rebalancing to better capture Peru's diversified equity landscape. The ETF has since delivered strong performance, surging approximately 69% year-to-date through December 2025 amid favorable mining sector dynamics and regional economic recovery, with net fund flows reaching $57.83 million over the prior year.
