Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The iShares MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Asian equities, excluding Japan.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index using representative sampling, holding a portfolio of securities with similar investment characteristics to the index rather than all its constituents. Because the fund may not hold all index components, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund may invest up to 20% of assets in derivatives, cash and cash equivalents, and securities outside the index to aid tracking.
