Overview

The iShares MSCI Israel ETF (EIS) operates within the Single Country - Developed category, where it is one of 18 funds tracked by ETFValuer. Issued by iShares, the fund manages $898 million in assets and trades at a price of $119.57. It holds an overall rank of #245 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 60.0. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.59% and offers a dividend yield of 1.54%. The current asset size and price point reflect the fund's established presence, while the moderate grade and mid-tier ranking suggest a balanced but not exceptional profile among its peers.

Over the last day, the fund posted a gain of +0.23% before slipping -0.31% over the week and -0.69% over the month. A decline of -5.64% occurred over the three-month period, though the fund recovered to post a +2.09% return over six months. Year-to-date performance stands at +7.40%, while the one-year return has accelerated significantly to +25.63%. This upward momentum continues into the long term, with the three-year return reaching +118.22%. The data indicates a pattern where short-term volatility has been offset by strong multi-year growth, creating a divergence between recent monthly results and the broader three-year trend.

EIS carries a High volatility label and a beta of 1.08, indicating that the fund tends to move more aggressively than the broader market in both directions. A Sharpe ratio of 0.89 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return relative to the risk taken during the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -22.29% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of high beta and substantial drawdown implies that investors may experience amplified swings in value compared to a less volatile asset. The risk profile reflects the inherent instability of the single-country exposure while the Sharpe ratio shows that the long-term returns have historically compensated for this elevated risk.

EIS Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.29% and average daily volume is 89K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $898M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EIS is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
