EWS: Singapore Stock Market Looks Less Attractive Than Its Wider Economy
EWS has outperformed the S&P 500 recently, sparking interest in Singapore's innovative economy. Despite these recent gains, EWS's long-term returns are lackluster, with only 151% in total return over nearly 30 years. The ETF's seventeen holdings do not effectively capture Singapore's broad economic strength and innovation leadership.

Investing In Singapore Is A Great, High-Risk Opportunity
EWS offers a 3.92% dividend yield and has shown strong momentum, gaining over 10% in 6 months and over 30% in a year. Singapore's robust economic indicators, including 5% GDP growth, low inflation and a positive interest-rate outlook, make it an attractive investment despite high government debt. The ETF's concentration in a few sectors and reliance on China pose significant risks, especially in the context of geopolitical tensions.
