EPU: Not Quite A Pure-Play Peruvian ETF

The iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF covers 25 stocks, with only 66% of its holdings consisting of Peruvian pure-plays. EPU is heavily weighted toward cyclical sectors, especially materials (52%), and its top two holdings comprise 46% of the portfolio, amplifying concentration risk. EPU suits investors with aggressive risk appetites seeking to profit from a potential commodity supercycle or the growth of trade.
