iShares Emerging Markets Equity Enhanced Active UCITS ETF

What this fund is

iShares Emerging Markets Equity Enhanced Active UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker EMEE (ISIN IE000OVF8Q66). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. Its largest holdings include TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING, BLK ICS US TREAS AGENCY DIS and SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS LTD. Spread across roughly 547 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 44.3%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

Geographically it leans ~27.6% Taiwan, ~22.7% Korea (South) and ~18.3% China. Its heaviest sectors are ~43.9% Technology and ~16.3% Financials. Investors often use a broad fund like this as a long-term 'core' holding — a single building block that covers much of a global portfolio in one trade. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.3% a year — about €30 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is automatically reinvested inside the fund (an accumulating share class), so returns compound without you doing anything.

It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 19.9% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2024. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
