In this chapter we will look in more detail at the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI UCITS ETF (IE00BKM4GZ66), discussing its specific characteristics and potential suitability for different types of investors.
The ETF's main objective is to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market index by providing investors with exposure to large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks from 26 emerging market countries, including China, India, Brazil, and South Africa.
The ETF invests primarily in stocks of emerging market countries. The index covers approximately 99 percent of the float-adjusted market capitalization of each country, providing broad exposure to the emerging market asset class.
By investing in this ETF, investors can access the growth potential of emerging market economies, which are often characterized by faster economic growth and increased consumer demand.
The fund has almost 15 billion under management so I would say it definitely has no liquidity problems.
The ETF is denominated in U.S. dollars and domiciled in Ireland. For non-U.S. investors, it is essential to consider the currency risk associated with investing in a dollar-denominated ETF.
The ETF has an expense ratio of 0.18 percent, which is considered low compared to many other emerging market ETFs.
