iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF (EPU) provides investors with exposure to the Peruvian equity market, focusing on sectors such as financials, materials, and consumer discretionary. The ETF's performance is closely tied to the economic conditions in Peru, including commodity prices, particularly copper and gold, which are significant drivers of the country's GDP.
EPU generates revenue primarily through management fees based on the total assets under management.

This allows investors to gain access to a market that may be less correlated with developed markets.
