Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of South Korean equities.
The fund tracks the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index using representative sampling, holding a representative sample of the index's large- and mid-capitalization South Korean equities rather than all constituents. The index applies a capping methodology that limits any single corporate group to 25% weight and restricts groups above 5% to an aggregate 50% weight. Because the fund may not hold all index components, its returns may diverge from the index.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 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.
