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.

What the fund is made of

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.
How it has done
AIA share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 26.62%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
