Tuul & Bruno Morandi/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Global X MSCI Greece ETF ( GREK ) is an exchange-traded fund whose aim is to replicate the performance of its benchmark, the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index. Net assets were $348 million as of February 27, 2026, with a total expense ratio of 0.57%, as reported by Global X themselves. Net fund flows have been moderately positive over the past year or so (see chart below). etfdb.com Holdings and Sector Exposures GREK has 31 holdings, with the top 10 holdings representing 69.7% of the total fund. The largest holding is the National Bank of Greece ( NBGRY ) at 14.83% of the fund. Somewhat unsurprisingly, Financial Services ranks top of the list of sector exposures at 49.31%, albeit the sheer extent of that sector concentration is quite surprising (the fund's top four positions are all banks). GREK is, in effect, not just a bet on the Greek business economy, but also on local financial services. morningstar.com Having said that, banks are a reasonably clean macro bet if one's intent is to express a view on a particular country. Bank stocks tend to reflect the overall economic conditions of a country; their earnings are typically tied to the domestic economy's performance (at least in large part). Loan growth, credit quality, net interest margins (as a function of long-term bond yields, which are themselves a function of economic growth and other macro indicators), and bank capital levels all depend on local GDP growth, employment, inflation, fiscal policy, and monetary policy. However, there is little "operating leverage"; these are mature and regulated companies. So, the main way to win is if risks fall, equity risk premia fall, and/or risk-free rates fall (although lower local long-term bond yields can compress net interest margins, making the bet probably more dependent on strong economic growth and credit quality with in-check inflation). At the moment, Greece's annual GDP growth rate is in the regio...
