Overview

The iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (EZU) is an International Developed fund issued by iShares with $9.60 billion in assets under management. It currently holds an overall rank of #246 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 60.2 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.5% and offers a dividend yield of 1.62%. Trading at a price of $68.17, the substantial asset size suggests significant investor adoption within the 22 ETFs tracked in its specific category. This combination of a mid-tier grade and moderate cost structure positions the fund as a widely held option for exposure to the Eurozone market. The current price level reflects the fund's accumulated performance relative to its inception and market conditions.

Over the last day, the fund declined by 0.13% and fell 0.54% over the past week, indicating recent short-term weakness. However, the trend shifted positively over the last month with a gain of 0.63% and accelerated significantly over the three-month period to a return of 4.90%. This momentum continued into the six-month horizon with a 3.65% return, while year-to-date performance stands at 6.74%. The one-year return reached 16.20%, and the three-year return shows a substantial cumulative gain of 63.03%. This pattern demonstrates a divergence where short-term fluctuations contrast with strong long-term growth, particularly evident in the three-year horizon.

The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 0.94, suggesting its price movements generally align with the broader market but with slightly less sensitivity. A Sharpe ratio of 0.63 indicates the risk-adjusted returns have been positive over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -15.02% represents the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund. This combination of figures implies that while the fund has delivered solid long-term returns, it has also endured significant temporary losses during market downturns. The beta below 1.0 suggests the fund may have experienced slightly less severe declines than the broader market during the period of the maximum drawdown.

EZU Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — 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 $9.60B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EZU 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.
