What is the iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF?
The iShares Core MSCI EM IMI (IS3N.DE) bundles thousands of emerging-market equities into a single accumulating UCITS product. The IMI design captures large, mid and small companies, reaching deeper than standard headline indices. With a total expense ratio of 0.18% and assets of roughly $41.3B, it ranks among the largest building blocks for broad exposure to Asia, Latin America and other developing economies, all wrapped in one diversified, low-cost vehicle for long-term investors.
Performance & Drivers
So far this year the fund has returned roughly 22.57%. The price sits near its 52-week high of 48.40 EUR at about 47.98 EUR, well above the low of 32.14 EUR. Because this is an accumulating share class, the reported dividend yield is 0%; income is reinvested automatically rather than paid out.
A key driver is the heavy technology weighting of around 35%, led by Taiwan Semiconductor (12.31%). The semiconductor upswing in Taiwan and South Korea, alongside a recovery in Chinese names such as Tencent and Alibaba, supported recent gains. Multi-year return figures are not available in the data source.
Risk Profile
Emerging-market equities tend to be more volatile than developed markets. Concentration is notable: technology (around 35%) and financial services (around 18%) dominate, while Taiwan Semiconductor alone represents 12.31% of the fund. Geographically, weights cluster heavily in Taiwan, South Korea, China and India.
- Currency risk: the fund is denominated in USD and holds local-currency assets. Euro-area investors face exchange-rate effects against the US dollar and emerging-market currencies.
- Policy & regulation: state intervention, capital controls and geopolitical tension can weigh on prices.
- Liquidity: smaller IMI-segment holdings may trade in thinner markets during stress.
Who Is It Suitable For?
The fund suits long-term investors who want to add dedicated emerging-market exposure to a globally diversified portfolio. Its accumulating structure makes it well suited to wealth building via regular savings plans over a horizon of many years, during which short-term swings can be tolerated and ridden out.
It is less suitable for:
- investors with a short horizon or low tolerance for sharp price swings;
- those who need regular distributions for income;
- investors seeking protection from US-dollar currency risk.
This is general educational context, not investment advice.
How It Compares to Peers
Within emerging-market ETFs there are several established alternatives with differing index methodologies:
- Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO): tracks the FTSE index, which classifies South Korea as developed and therefore weights regions differently.
- iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM): follows the MSCI standard index without the broad IMI small-cap segment.
- Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF: a European counterpart on the same MSCI standard index.
With a 0.18% expense ratio and the deeper-reaching IMI approach, IS3N.DE offers especially broad coverage including smaller companies.
