The fund in context

SPDR® MSCI EM Asia UCITS ETF CHF competes with 1 other products on the same index (MSCI EM Asia): it ranks 2nd by fund size and 2nd by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.55% against a group median of 0.38%. It has been listed since 2011, 15 years of track record.

On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 55 € a year. The cheapest of the group is iShares MSCI EM Asia UCITS ETF at 0.20%, or 20 € on the same amount: a difference of 35 € every year, roughly 350 € over ten years before compounding.

Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 46.7% of the portfolio.

Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in CHF. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.

The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
