ETF ┃ 12 June 2025

iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF (EUFN)

  • Focus on the European Financial Market. The tracked index focuses on European financial stocks. This ETF is suitable for investors seeking concentrated exposure to the European financial sector.
  • Attractive Valuation. European financial institutions span multiple countries and industries, including banking, insurance, asset management, and fintech. They are positioned both within the EU and in global markets, helping to diversify risk and enhance resilience. In addition, European financial stocks generally have lower P/E ratios than their U.S. peers, making European financial assets more attractive in global capital allocation.
  • Benefiting from ECB’s Easing Policy. As the U.S. becomes a primary source of uncertainty, aside from the need for risk diversification, Europe’s cooling inflation and continued policy rate cuts have significantly lowered corporate funding costs, making the region a key market focus.
