- iShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure UCITS ETF USD (Dist) (IUS8.DE) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the S&P Emerging Markets Infrastructure Index, which comprises equities of companies engaged in infrastructure-related activities across emerging markets, including utilities, industrials, and energy sectors; the fund employs full physical replication by holding all index constituents and distributes dividends semi-annually. Incorporated in Ireland as part of iShares II Public Limited Company and launched on February 15, 2008, the ETF is domiciled in Ireland with administrative and custodial services provided by State Street entities; it lists primarily on European exchanges such as Xetra (Germany) under ticker IUS8.DE and targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to emerging market infrastructure without currency hedging. With approximately EUR 18-74 million in assets under management as of recent reports and a total expense ratio of 0.74%, the fund focuses on large-cap companies in regions including Asia, Latin America, and emerging Europe. In a significant operational change announced in July 2025, iShares II plc initiated the closure of the ETF, with final trading on August 12, 2025, compulsory redemption of shares on August 14, 2025, delisting on August 18, 2025, and settlement of proceeds by August 19, 2025; this liquidation process allows shareholders to sell positions prior to the final dealing date or receive automatic redemption upon asset liquidation. No specific reason for the closure was disclosed, though it reflects ongoing portfolio adjustments by BlackRock, the parent provider through its iShares brand. The ETF has maintained steady dividend distributions, including a recent semi-annual payout, prior to its wind-down.
