- iShares MSCI Spain ETF (EWP) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Spain 25/50 Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of large- and mid-capitalization segments of the Spanish equity market. The fund provides targeted exposure to Spanish equities across diversified sectors including financials, utilities, industrials, consumer discretionary, communication services, energy, real estate, materials, health care, and consumer staples; top holdings as of late 2025 include Banco Santander SA (17.53%), Iberdrola SA (14.54%), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (12.40%), Amadeus IT Group SA (4.63%), and Ferrovial SE (4.61%), representing approximately 75% of the portfolio's 27 holdings. It employs a representative sampling technique to replicate the index, invests in growth and value stocks of companies across various market capitalizations primarily in Spain, and lists on NYSE Arca with additional listings on Bolsa Mexicana de Valores and Santiago Stock Exchange. Launched on March 12, 1996 and domiciled in the United States, EWP is issued by iShares, Inc., a BlackRock, Inc. subsidiary, and managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors with a gross expense ratio of 0.50%. The ETF targets investors seeking access to approximately 85% of the Spanish stock market through large- and mid-sized companies, with assets under management reaching approximately $1.37 billion to $1.45 billion as of mid- to late 2025. It serves institutional and retail investors focused on European single-country equity exposure, with no emphasis on sustainable, impact, or ESG strategies. In recent developments, EWP reached a new 52-week high of $49.99 in October 2025 amid strong performance, with year-to-date total returns exceeding 60% and one-year returns around 45% as of late 2025. Institutional ownership stood at 38.17% as of mid-2025, reflecting increased interest with new positions acquired by firms such as Nisa Investment Advisors LLC, Private Trust Co. NA, Riggs Asset Management Co. Inc., and Marvin & Palmer Associates Inc. in the second quarter of 2025. BlackRock, Inc. expanded its own holdings in the ETF during late 2024, underscoring ongoing confidence in Spanish market exposure.
