New global ETFs: Poland, Indonesia, New Zealand, and China

Four new global ETFs are being launched by iShare:
  • iShares MSCI Poland Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
  • iShares MSCI China Small-Cap Index Fund (prospectus)
  • iShares MSCI Indonesia Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
  • iShares MSCI New Zealand Investable Market Index Fund (prospectus)
Please note that we track all global ETFs live. These will be added as soon as there is enough volume.



With the exception of the New Zealand-specific ETF, iShares is not the first to enter any of these markets. Its move testifies to growing investor interest in some of the booming segments of the global ETF space.
The iShares Poland is the 2nd ETF that cover the market, following PLND's lead.

The iShares China fund will invest in companies that fall in the bottom 14% of the Chinese equities market by market capitalization.

iShares Indonesia and New Zealand ETFs will invest in the largest market-cap companies listed in those countries. The New Zealand ETF is the first that cover that country (aside from the great currency ETF BNZ).
