About
This ETF tracks the MSCI Korea 20-35 Custom Index, which is designed to capture the performance of major and mid-sized companies based in South Korea. The index aims to represent about 85% of the free-float market value of these firms. Its constituents are weighted by their free-float adjusted market capitalization, with specific limits on individual holdings: no single corporate group can exceed 35% of the index, and other individual components are capped at 20%. A 10% buffer is applied to these limits during each quarterly rebalancing. More information on the index's selection and weighting methodology is available at https://www.msci.com.
