Known differences and mismatches

  • FTSE and MSCI use different country classifications, including South Korea.
  • Constituents, country weights and rebalance timing therefore differ.
  • VWO distributes income; this EIMI share class accumulates it.

Region and broker availability

EIMI has verified London and Milan lines and broad European issuer registrations. Availability must still be checked against the investor's jurisdiction, broker and account type.

Search by ISIN and confirm the current KID and order eligibility with your broker before relying on a mapping.

Official product sources

What is EIMI?

EIMI is iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating VWO. Most targets are UCITS ETFs; some commodity and leveraged targets are UCITS-eligible ETCs or ETPs instead. Product structure and retail eligibility must be checked for the exact ISIN.

MSCI EM IMI (includes small caps). Very close to VWO. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
