Description: EWU United Kingdom

The iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF (EWU) is a passively managed fund that seeks to replicate the performance of an MSCI index measuring the large- and mid-capitalization segments of the UK 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.

As an index-tracking ETF, EWU provides investors with broad exposure to publicly traded UK companies through a single listed security, with holdings weighted according to the index methodology. The fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may hold larger concentrated positions in individual issuers than a diversified fund would. EWU is part of the iShares family of ETFs issued by BlackRock, one of the worlds largest asset managers.
