EWUS offers targeted exposure to small-cap companies in the United Kingdom which covers approximately 14% of the UK investable universe. It tracks an index that focuses its selection and weighting on market capitalization and may include securities from various sectors. This underlying index is based on MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI) Methodology. Overall, EWUS effectively captures the UK small-cap space and can be used as a complement to EWU which on the other hand, focuses on large- and midcap equities. The index constituents are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
