EWK
iShares MSCI Belgium ETFEWK Fund Description
EWK tracks a market-cap weighted index of Belgian securities subject to RIC constraints.
EWK Factset Analytics Insight
EWK covers the all cap space of the Belgium market. No ETF can fully replicate the Belgian market due to RIC diversification rules. The colossal Anheuser-Busch InBev represents over half of the Belgian market, but RIC rules force funds to cap exposure to a single constituent at 25%. Therefore, EWK is forced to underweight Anheuser-Busch InBev to about a quarter of the total portfolio, and each sector outside consumer cyclicals is consistently over-weighted by a few percentage points. Specifically the constraints includes that the sum of the weights of all issuers representing more than 5% of the index should not exceed 50%. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
