EWN: A Few Reasons Not To Get Carried Away

EWN has outperformed European peers and global markets this year, but we would urge some caution going forward. Netherlands GDP growth in Q1 was adversely affected by the manufacturing sector and its FY forecasts are expected to lag the Euro area. Housing affordability continues to be a source of concern, with house price growth poised to stay elevated through much of this year.

EWN: Lights Dimmed On European Tech Play

The iShares MSCI Netherlands ETF (EWN) offers exposure to Dutch securities across market caps, but faces challenges due to sluggish economic growth, uncertainty around interest rates, and political gridlock. EWN is a tech-heavy ETF, with around a third of its assets in the technology sector, and a large holding in semiconductor giant ASML. While EWN has delivered strong year-to-date returns in 2024, it also exhibits higher volatility compared to other European ETFs, making it a riskier play in an uncertain economic environment.
