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 $76.78, the fund carries an expense ratio of 0.5% and offers a dividend yield of 1.15%. Within the broader universe of 458 tracked ETFs, EWW holds an overall rank of #278 and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 58.4 out of 100. In its specific category of Single Country - Emerging funds, the ETF is one of 22 options available to investors. The asset size and price level suggest a moderate level of adoption relative to the total number of funds tracked in this sector. The fund's cost structure and income profile are consistent with other actively managed or specialized emerging market vehicles. Its position in the rankings reflects a middle-tier performance standing across all tracked categories.
Over the most recent trading day, the fund posted a return of +0.31%, followed by a weekly gain of +1.24%. Monthly performance showed further accumulation with a +1.87% return, while the three-month period recorded a +1.06% gain. The six-month return stood at +1.58%, indicating a slower pace of growth compared to the initial monthly figures. Year-to-date performance accelerated significantly to +11.84%, and the one-year return reached +30.07%. The three-year return totalized +37.78%, demonstrating sustained long-term growth despite short-term fluctuations. This pattern suggests a divergence where recent short-term gains have been more modest compared to the stronger momentum observed over the one-year and three-year horizons.
The fund is assigned 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 1.14 suggests that the returns generated have been efficient relative to the amount of risk taken over the measured period. However, the maximum drawdown of -31.17% highlights the potential for significant capital erosion during market downturns. This combination of high volatility and a beta above 1.00 implies that the fund is likely to experience amplified swings in both rising and falling markets. The substantial drawdown figure underscores the severity of downside risk that investors may face during adverse conditions. Despite the high volatility, the positive Sharpe ratio indicates that the fund has historically compensated investors adequately for the risks assumed.

EWW Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 11.43% 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.
