The easiest way to invest in Singapore is with exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which offer diversified exposure to the country in a single U.S.-traded security. The most popular ETF to invest in Singapore is the iShares MSCI Singapore Index Fund (EWS), which has a net asset value of more than $500 million and holds nearly 30 different securities, as of April 2016.
Since Singapore is primarily a trade destination, the ETF is heavily weighted towards financial (55.43%) and industrial (17.55%) companies. Investors should be aware that this overweight position could result in added risk if, for example, the financial system were strained.
