The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (EIMI) is an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by BlackRock and traded under the EIMI ticker on the London Stock Exchange.

The fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index, a benchmark composed of large-, mid-, and small-cap companies across emerging markets.

EIMI provides exposure to emerging economies across Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The ETF follows a passive investment strategy and uses physical replication to track its benchmark. It operates under the UCITS framework and follows an accumulating income policy.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index includes large-, mid-, and small-cap companies from countries classified by MSCI as emerging markets. The index covers approximately 99% of the free-float-adjusted market capitalization in each country, with constituent weights based on free-float-adjusted market capitalization.

Composition / Exposure Profile

EIMI holds thousands of companies across a broad range of economic sectors, including:

• Information technology.

• Financials.

• Consumer discretionary.

• Communication services.

• Industrials.

• Materials.

• Energy.

• Health care.

• Consumer staples.

• Utilities.

• Real estate.

The fund's largest geographic exposures include China, Taiwan, India, and South Korea, alongside other emerging markets across Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

By including companies across different market-cap segments, the benchmark provides broader market coverage than indexes focused exclusively on large- and mid-cap stocks. Because constituents are weighted by free-float-adjusted market capitalization, larger companies account for greater portions of the portfolio.
