EWH is one of the oldest single-country funds around, providing neutral exposure to Hong Kong since 1996. EWH's less inclusive index only covers 85% of the market (excluding small-caps), which also contributes to some mild sector tilts. However, the underlying index uses caps, which limits the weight of any component to 25% exposure. In addition, the sum of the group entities that individually constitute more than 5% of the index is capped at 50% in the aggregate. As such, the fund provides great exposure to the space. Prior to Sept. 1, 2020, the fund tracked an uncapped version of the same index.
