iShares MSCI Peru ETF

EPU tracks a market-cap-weighted index of Peruvian firms.

EPU is passively managed to track market cap -weighted index that seeks to provide broad Peru equity exposure. Selection includes a minimum number of Peruvian securities and issuers before expanding exposure to those stocks with related exposure.

Peru's stock market has outperformed regional peers, despite economic challenges, and equities remain reasonably valued. The economy is poised for substantial recovery in 2025, with recent GDP growth hitting its highest since Q1, 2022. Despite a 40% market run in the past year, future economic developments are not fully priced in, making it a good hold.

Economies of Latin America and Caribbean have continued their strong post-pandemic rebound, but the winds are shifting as global financial conditions are tightening and commodity prices are reversing their upward trend, while inflationary pressures persist. The reopening of contact-intensive sectors, especially hospitality and travel, the unwinding of pandemic pent-up demand, and still favorable external financial conditions supported a solid expansion in the first half of the year, allowing services to catch up with manufacturing, and employment to reach pre-pandemic levels.

The main disruption for Latin American traders comes from increased shipping costs and long delays to products arriving at their destinations. Latin American exporters of fruit, meat, and other perishables were not critically affected by delays until mid-2021, with perishable goods shipped through direct routes that often avoid bottlenecks.

Latin America will start 2022 in a very fragile position given the economic fallout from the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a deteriorated fiscal position, weak FDI, and the erosion of real wages due to high inflation. The strong economic rebound in the second half of 2021 is likely to slow in 2022, not least because of rising policy rates (notably in Brazil).
