There is some risk for EPOL and PLND. Moody’s said Wednesday that lower rates could hamper the profitability of Polish banks and affect the creditworthiness of those banks.
EPOL, the iShares offering, allocates over 47% of its weight to the financial services sector. The Market Vectors Poland ETF features slightly less exposure to financials, but a 39% weight to any sector in a single ETF can be seen as potentially risky.
