EWS: Not Sold Despite High Income Potential
iShares MSCI Singapore ETF tracks the MSCI Singapore Index, focusing on mid and large-cap stocks, with $439M in assets. It has a notable yield profile at 6.4% TTM. EWS is heavily weighted in the financial sector (about 50%), benefiting from high interest rates. However, volatility and potential shifts in the interest rate environment could impact profitability. Despite attractive valuation multiples and a strong dividend history, recent net outflows and structural economic challenges in Singapore raise concerns about its future performance.
