- Business
- iShares MSCI Belgium ETF (EWK) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Belgium IMI 25/50 Index, a broad-based index composed of Belgian equities. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of the underlying index or in depositary receipts representing securities in the index, providing targeted exposure to a diversified range of Belgian companies across market capitalizations, including large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks in sectors such as healthcare, consumer defensive, financial services, real estate, and industrials. Top holdings typically include Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, argenx SE, UCB SA, Ageas SA/NV, and KBC Groep NV, with approximately 37-44 holdings reflecting a blend of growth and value stocks. Launched on March 12, 1996, and domiciled in the United States, EWK trades on the NYSE Arca exchange under the ticker EWK with a CUSIP of 464286301 and is managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors as part of the iShares family offered by BlackRock, Inc. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.50%, with net assets around $38-39 million as of mid-2025, and distributes dividends semi-annually. It targets investors seeking geographic exposure to Belgium's equity market without pursuing a sustainable, impact, or ESG investment strategy. In recent developments, the fund's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) was updated as of November 21, 2025, reflecting ongoing administrative maintenance. No major partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, new product launches, or strategic shifts specific to EWK have been reported in the last 1-2 years; the fund continues to operate under its established benchmark with periodic portfolio rebalancing driven by index methodology changes at the broader iShares level. Geographic operations remain focused on Belgian equities, accessible to investors in markets including the United States and Mexico.
