What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Taiwanese equities.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI Taiwan 25/50 Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of Taiwanese large- and mid-cap equities with investment characteristics similar to the index; 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 constituents, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund concentrates in financials and technology to approximately the same extent as the index.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

110.38%
of net assets
Stocks99.65%
Cash & short-term10.45%
Other0.28%
Derivatives0.00%

These positions come to 110.38% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
