Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
The iShares Asia 50 ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of 50 of the largest Asian equities.
The fund tracks the S&P Asia 50 Capped Index using representative sampling, holding a portfolio of the 50 largest companies listed in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, with individual issuer weights capped at 22.5%. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
