EWN doesn't offer anything fancy, just solid, neutral exposure to the Dutch market, It tracks an index that selects and weights its components by market cap. That being said, investors must still be conscious of the funds top-heavy, mostly large- and midcap portfolio, as it might be dominated by a few large companies. To counter this, the fund caps individual companies to 25% of the funds total value to ensure diversification requirements. EWN uses a representative sampling strategy, which means it will invest in a sample of securities from the index that collectively form an investment profile similar to that of the underlying index. The index is rebalanced quarterly. Before September 1, 2017, the fund tracked an uncapped version of its current index.
