What is EWS?

The iShares MSCI Singapore ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Singaporean equities. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Singapore 25/50 Index (the Underlying Index ), which is designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of the Singapore market. A capping methodology is applied that limits the weight of any single component to a maximum of 25% of the Underlying Index. Additionally, the sum of the components that individually constitute more than 5% of the weight of the Underlying Index cannot exceed a maximum of 50% of the weight of the Underlying Index in the aggregate.
