Overview
The iShares India 50 ETF, identified by the ticker INDY, operates within the Single Country - Emerging category managed by issuer iShares. This fund tracks 22 other ETFs in its specific category and currently holds an overall rank of #451 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all sectors. It has received an ETFValuer grade of F with a score of 29.9 out of 100, reflecting its current standing. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.65% and offers a dividend yield of 0.85%. With assets under management totaling $558 million and a share price of $42.05, the fund's size suggests a moderate level of investor adoption relative to the broader market. These metrics collectively define the fund's cost structure, income potential, and market position within the iShares lineup.
Recent performance data shows a negative trajectory across nearly all measured timeframes, starting with a 1-day return of -1.13% and a 1-week decline of -2.10%. The downward trend continues through the 1-month period at -2.44% and extends to a 3-month return of -4.71%. Over the half-year mark, the fund recorded a loss of -10.25%, while year-to-date returns have fallen to -14.82%. The 1-year return stands at -14.24%, indicating sustained negative momentum over the past twelve months. However, the 3-year return shows a slight positive divergence at +0.04%, suggesting a minor recovery or stabilization over the longer horizon despite recent losses.
The fund is classified with a Low volatility label, yet it exhibits a beta of 0.52, indicating it moves less than the broader market in terms of price sensitivity. Despite this lower beta, the fund has experienced a maximum drawdown of -22.40%, reflecting significant potential for capital loss during downturns. The Sharpe ratio of -1.32 signals that the fund has generated negative risk-adjusted returns over the measured period. This combination of a low volatility label, a beta below one, a deep maximum drawdown, and a negative Sharpe ratio implies that while the fund may not swing wildly in absolute terms, it has failed to provide adequate compensation for the losses incurred during market declines.

INDY Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.73% and average daily volume is 126K/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 $558M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: INDY 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.
