- iShares MSCI Korea UCITS ETF (Dist) (IDKO.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Korea 20/35 Index, which comprises large- and mid-cap Korean equities with individual constituent weightings capped at 35% for the largest issuer and 20% for others; the fund employs full physical replication by holding the index constituents in their benchmark weightings, including leading holdings such as Samsung Electronics Ltd (24.17%), SK Hynix Inc (10.2%), and KB Financial Group Inc (3.45%); it distributes dividends semi-annually with a recent yield of approximately 0.95% and maintains a total expense ratio of 0.65% p.a.. The ETF, domiciled in Ireland and issued by iShares plc (a BlackRock entity), targets institutional and retail investors seeking unhedged exposure to the Korean equity market across sectors like technology, financials, and industrials; it lists on multiple exchanges including the London Stock Exchange (USD and GBP tickers), Euronext Amsterdam, Deutsche Boerse Xetra, and SIX Swiss Exchange.. Launched on November 18, 2005, and headquartered through its issuer in Ireland, the fund manages approximately EUR 433 million in assets and engages in securities lending to enhance returns, with recent on-loan balances averaging around 22% of AUM.. In a major update, the benchmark transitioned from the MSCI Korea Index to the MSCI Korea 20/35 Index on February 11, 2020, to comply with UCITS diversification rules while maintaining broad Korean market exposure; no significant acquisitions, partnerships, new product launches, or operational reorganizations have been reported for the ETF in the last 1-2 years..
