Emerging Europe: The overlooked opportunity in the portfolio

Hello everyone, I am sharing with you the result of my Copilot conversation on the question of whether Eastern Europe in particular will benefit from peace in Ukraine and whether this will lead to higher expected returns, and I am curious and grateful if you react to this in terms of content:


The MSCI Emerging Europe
$CEC (-1,01 %) is an almost invisible gap in many portfolios. While the MSCI Europe exclusively tracks developed countries and therefore 0% Eastern Europe Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania appear in the MSCI Emerging Markets only appear as barely measurable mini-weights, as the index is dominated by Asia.

This is precisely where the MSCI Emerging Europe comes in: It bundles the most important Eastern European emerging markets, in which, according to analyses Poland was already one of the strongest global performers in 2025.

It is particularly relevant that these countries are economically and geographically key functions in the future reconstruction of Ukraine. reconstruction of Ukraine. The majority of logistical, financial and infrastructural activities run through Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, which gives companies there a structural advantage.

Emerging Europe thus combines two factors: a region with above-average growth potential and a thematic opportunitywhich is simply not found in traditional ETF portfolios. Most investors own Europe - but without the part of Europe that is experiencing the most dynamic economic growth.


Enclosed is the current monthly factsheet, as getquin does not display synthetic replications correctly (or too correctly): 20251231


The country breakdown is: Poland 70.10 %, Hungary 20.57 %, Czech Republic 9.32 %


What do you think?

Getquin tells me the ETF is divided between 93,6% in the US, 4,2% in Finland and 2,2% in Germany. Is that incorrect?

@BasicallyGambling Unfortunately, getquin does not display synthetic replications correctly. Here is the latest monthly factsheet: https://www.amundietf.de/pdfDocuments/monthly-factsheet/LU1900066462/DEU/DEU/INSTITUTIONNEL/ETF/20251231

@byebyebayern However, the factsheet only shows the benchmark index.

In reality, however, investments are made in the swaps.
Accordingly, you have exposure to the swaps and invest in the index return.

Also available as a download from Amundi if you call up the components:

@Staatsmann Yes, of course, but the reference index is what interests me in a SWAP (without starting a SWAP discussion).

@byebyebayern But if you are interested in the index, then an investment in the index and not the index return would be relevant for you.

In other words, physically replicating or, if necessary, as an optimized sampling.
Thanks for the introduction, I hadn't even considered it. But it is extremely bank-heavy (almost 60%). I'm not at all familiar with it - haven't the banks done too well in recent years?

I can't say anything about that. Unfortunately, there is not much on offer for this region.
This means that an EU infrastructure ETF or energy ETF could also be an option.
