EPHE provides broad exposure exclusively to the Philippine equity market. The index is weighted and rebalanced on a quarterly basis using the MSCI 25/50 methodology that diversifies its holdings by applying limits on RICs in compliance with the US Internal Revenue Code, such that no more than 25% of value to a single issuer, and the sum of the weights of all issuers with more than 5% do not exceed 50% of total assets. Prior to December 1, 2020 the fund tracked an uncapped version of the index.
