iShares MSCI Europe Quality Dividend Advanced UCITS ETF

What this fund is

iShares MSCI Europe Quality Dividend Advanced UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker CEML (ISIN IE000PYEKKW0). 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, focused on the European market. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the MSCI Europe index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include NOVARTIS AG, ALLIANZ and ABB LTD. With about 81 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 29.7%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names.

Its biggest country exposures are ~22.8% Switzerland, ~19.9% United Kingdom and ~11.9% Germany. Its heaviest sectors are ~28.9% Financials and ~14% Industrials. 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 0.28% a year — about €28 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 EUR. Its price has swung about 10.7% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2025. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
