- iShares Currency Hedged MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF (HSCZ) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of small-capitalization developed market equities excluding the U.S. and Canada, while mitigating currency risk relative to the U.S. dollar; it provides exposure to small-cap companies in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East (EAFE) regions through a currency-hedged portfolio. The fund's primary products include shares traded on the BATS Exchange under the ticker HSCZ, with underlying holdings encompassing approximately 1,500 small-cap stocks selected from the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, hedged using one-month forward currency contracts on the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, and other relevant developed market currencies; it offers investors diversified access to sectors such as industrials, financials, consumer discretionary, and information technology in markets including Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, and continental Europe. Managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors as part of the iShares family, HSCZ was launched in 2014 and is domiciled in the United States with administrative operations in San Francisco, California; it serves institutional and retail investors targeting international small-cap growth with reduced foreign exchange volatility. The fund maintains a competitive expense ratio of around 0.40% and assets under management exceeding $50 million, focusing on developed markets outside North America without emerging market exposure. No major strategic changes, such as new product launches, acquisitions, partnerships, or index reconstitutions, have been reported for HSCZ in the last 1-2 years, reflecting stability in its hedged small-cap EAFE mandate amid ongoing global market fluctuations.
