Abstract: | The performance and diversification of iShares and their rival closed-end country funds is studied from April 1996 to December 1999. International iShares are country-specific series of securities that track the price and yield of a specific Morgan Stanley Capital Internation (MSCI) country index and, presumably, should provide diversification benefits. It is demonstrated in this single-index model that iShares replicate the home index, showing some potential for diversification. |
