Overview
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) is a Single Country - Emerging fund issued by iShares that currently holds $1.84 billion in assets under management. Trading at a price of $75.45, the fund carries an expense ratio of 0.5% and offers a dividend yield of 1.17%. In the broader landscape of 458 tracked ETFs, EWW holds an overall rank of #286 and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 57.5 out of 100. Within its specific category of 22 Single Country - Emerging funds, the fund's positioning reflects a mid-tier status among its peers. The asset size of $1.84 billion suggests a moderate level of investor adoption relative to the total universe of tracked funds. This combination of cost, yield, and ranking provides a baseline for evaluating the fund's efficiency and market presence. The data indicates a fund that is established but faces challenges in achieving top-tier performance ratings compared to the wider market.
Recent performance data shows a positive momentum over the shortest horizons, with a 1-day return of +0.60% and a 1-week gain of +0.45%. This short-term strength continued into the monthly timeframe with a +2.25% return, though the 3-month period saw a contraction of -1.35%. The fund demonstrated a recovery in the 6-month window with a +1.07% gain, followed by a significant year-to-date increase of +9.91%. Over the longer term, the fund has delivered robust annualized returns, posting a 1-year return of +29.04% and a 3-year return of +29.00%. The divergence between the negative 3-month result and the strong 1-year and 3-year figures suggests a pattern of recent volatility within a generally upward long-term trend. These figures highlight a fund that has experienced periods of decline but has maintained substantial growth over multi-year periods.
The fund is classified with a High volatility label and exhibits a beta of 1.06, indicating that its price movements tend to be slightly more pronounced than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.09 suggests that the fund has generated a favorable amount of return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. However, the maximum drawdown of -31.17% reveals the potential for significant capital erosion during market downturns. This combination of high volatility and a deep maximum drawdown implies that while the fund offers strong returns, it subjects investors to substantial short-term fluctuations. The beta of 1.06 confirms that the fund amplifies market movements, contributing to the observed high volatility. Investors should expect a risk profile characterized by sharp swings in value alongside the potential for high rewards.

EWW Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 4.72% and average daily volume is 1.2M/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 $1.84B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: EWW 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.
