Description

Managed by BlackRock Asset Management North Asia Limited, the iShares Asia Trust - iShares Core S&P BSE SENSEX India Index ETF is an exchange-traded fund. Its primary objective is to track the performance of the S&P BSE SENSEX Index, which it achieves by employing a representative sampling methodology. The fund's investment strategy targets the public equity markets of India. It allocates capital both through direct equity purchases and by utilizing derivatives, such as India Access Products (IAPs), across a diverse array of industries. A key focus is placed on large-capitalization companies within the Indian market. Additionally, the ETF gains exposure to Indian securities via its wholly-owned subsidiary, iShares BSE SENSEX Mauritius Company, which is based in Mauritius. Initially launched on October 31, 2006, this Hong Kong-domiciled fund was formerly known as the iShares Asia Trust - iShares S&P BSE SENSEX India Index ETF.
