Description: EWA Australia

The iShares MSCI Australia ETF (EWA) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Australia Index, which measures large- and mid-capitalization segments of the Australian equity market. Under its stated policy, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index or in instruments with substantially identical economic characteristics. EWA is structured as a non-diversified fund, meaning its holdings may be concentrated within a single national market.

As a focused-region, single-country ETF listed on the NYSE, EWA offers investors targeted exposure to Australian equities rather than broad global or regional diversification. Launched in 1996 and categorized within the focused region ETF segment, the fund provides a vehicle for gaining market-cap-weighted access to Australias large- and mid-cap companies through a single exchange-traded product.
