SPEU offers plain vanilla exposure to equities from Western European nations, defined as Austria, Belgium, Poland, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Fund documents avoid the term developed Europe, possibly since Poland is viewed as either developed or emerging depending on the classifying entity. SPEU offers market-cap-weighted exposure to companies in this country across the firm size spectrum. Only the smallest 5% of firms are eliminated, and these wouldnt move the dial much in this context. Prior to Sept 23 2019, the fund tracked a mega-cap Europe index under the ticker FEU.
