Fund Overview
EEM | MSCI EMERGING MARKET INDEX FUND
Barclay EEM iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, of publicly traded securities in emerging markets, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which tracks indices in 26 emerging economies. This index created by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) that is designed to measure equity market performance in global emerging markets.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. As of May 27, 2010 the MSCI Emerging Markets Index consisted of the following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
An upside to emerging markets is that their performance is generally less correlated with developed markets. As such, they can play a role in diversifying a portfolio (and thus reducing overall risk).
Total net asset: $41.5 Billion
