The fund will at all times invest at least 80% of its assets in the securities of its underlying index and in depositary receipts representing securities in its underlying index. The underlying index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index with a capping methodology applied to issuer weights so that no single issuer exceeds 25% of the underlying index weight, and all issuers with a weight above 5% do not cumulatively exceed 50% of the underlying index weight. The fund is non-diversified.

Country Data: American companies have yielded hefty gains in recent years. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the 500 largest American companies, added more than 200% to its market value in the past 10 years, an annualized return of nearly 12%.
Meanwhile, European indices — and respective economies — have struggled.
The France-tracking iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>) returned 46% in that time period, good for an annualized return of under 4%. The German-tracking iShares MSCI Germany ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWG#NYSE">EWG</a>) returned 18%, an annualized return of 1.68%. The Italian iShares MSCI Italy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWI#NYSE">EWI</a>) has returned around 24%, an annualized return of about 2.12%.
Other countries have fared worse. The Britain-tracking iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWU#NYSE">EWU</a>) has shed over 9% since 2014. The Spanish iShares MSCI Spain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWP#NYSE">EWP</a>) has lost over 12% of its market value in that time span. Both countries&#8217; annualized returns are close to zero percent. 
European Outliers: A few countries have far outperformed the rest of the European continent in recent years.
iShares MSCI Denmark ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDEN#BATS">EDEN</a>) returned over 138% since 2014, an annualized return of over 9%. The Danish economy has apparently benefitted from its exposure to the pharmaceutical industry.
iShares MSCI Ireland ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIRL#NYSE">EIRL</a>) is up 70% in that period, an annualized return of about 5.43%. Ireland boasts a low corporate tax rate of 12.5% and high levels of foreign investment.
Why it Matters: It is unclear whether the trend of American exceptionalism in equities pricing will continue into the next decade. As their respective economies ease back into moderate economic growth, European countries may benefit from leadership changes.

Shares of Europe-related ETFs are trading lower after Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.

Ongoing flooding in Eastern and Southern Spain has caused one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change"> worst humanitarian disasters</a> in the region in decades.
What Happened: At least 158 people have been killed by flooding caused by torrential rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t">according</a> to the BBC. The damage is concentrated around the Valencia region. In some areas, the eight-hour rainfall matched a typical year&#8217;s worth of rain.
<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spain-flooding-51-dead-in-valencia-region-economic-hub-2024-10">According</a> to Business Insider, an early insurer estimate of economic damage caused by the storm &#8220;easily&#8221; exceeds 1 billion euros.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told residents to stay at home as more rain is expected to fall on Friday.
&#8220;To the villages and cities destroyed by this tragedy, I say the same: Together, we will rebuild your streets, your squares, your bridges," Sánchez said in a televised address, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/spain-flash-floods-people-killed-valencia-rcna177979">according</a> to NBC.
Why it Matters: Increases in the frequency of extreme weather events are widely attributed to climate change.
The automotive industry is prominent in Valencia. 
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has a large manufacturing plant in Almussafes, just south of Valencia. This facility is one of Ford&#8217;s key production sites in Europe. Significant flooding or infrastructure damage in this region could disrupt operations or logistics, potentially affecting Ford's production timelines.
Iberdrola SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>) is a large utility provider in Spain. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/world/europe/spain-floods-valencia.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">According</a> to the New York Times, the flood left 155,000 customers without power. General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) does not have a manufacturing facility in the vicinity, though its partnership with Iberdrola and projects in Spain could cause some disruption.
Construction companies could stand to benefit from investment in the region following the cessation of the storm. Ferrovial SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FER#NASDAQ">FER</a>) and ACS Actividades De Construccion Y Servicios ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACSAY#OTC">ACSAY</a>) are among Spain&#8217;s largest publicly traded construction companies.
Investors should also pay close attention to the Spain-tracking iShares Msci Spain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWP#NYSE">EWP</a>) for any volatility in the coming days.
