Does EWS offer a good way to play the Singapore GDP surprise?
EWS provides immediate diversified exposure. It captures broad market uplift but carries currency risk for US investors if the SGD appreciates further, which could enhance returns.
What are the top holdings of EWS?
Major holdings include DBS Group, OCBC, and UOB. These financials benefit from a stronger economy and are among the biggest weightings in the ETF.
