iShares BIC 50

ETF description

This ETF offers exposure to a group of large companies from four major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. These countries are often referred to together because of their size, growth potential, and role in the global economy. The companies included in this ETF are selected based on their size and how actively their shares are traded. They span across various industries such as energy, financial services, telecommunications, and technology.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking to diversify their portfolios by including exposure to emerging markets and who understand the risks that can come with that.
