ISRA is led by Technology, which makes up 37.5% of the fund, followed by Financial Services at 27.4% and Healthcare at 9.4%. With more than a third in one sector, ISRA moves with that sector more than a broadly spread fund would. ISRA is a Focused Region fund from VanEck, launched on June 25, 2013.

Concentration matters here: Technology makes up 37.5% of the fund, so a setback in that sector would weigh on the whole. Normal swings for ISRA run at about 0.94% a day.

CleaRank AI analysis of ISRA
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
VanEck Israel ETF (ISRA) is caught between its two moving averages. Its price of $65.40 is 0.57% above the 200-day average of $65.03, yet 2.19% below the 50-day average of $66.86. That 50-day average sits 2.82% above the 200-day one. Across the 52-week range, which runs from $53.09 up to $73.55, the price currently stands at 60% of the distance.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 2.82% over the past month, rose 0.48% over the past three months and rose 20.60% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 42.9, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.
- Two levels stand closest to the price: the 20-day EMA, sitting above it at $66.32, and the 200-day SMA, sitting below it at $65.03.
- The 14-day RSI reads 42.9, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.59% a year, ISRA charges $59.00 on every $10,000 invested.
The trend is mixed: ISRA is above its 200-day average at $65.03 but below its 50-day average at $66.86. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. In the meantime the price sits between the 200-day SMA ($65.03) underneath and the 20-day EMA ($66.32) overhead.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in ISRA, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in ISRA today could grow to about $20,587 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $48,732 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $8,697. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.31% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
ISRA 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $87.30 for ISRA by 2030 in the base case, from $65.40 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $50.62. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on ISRA's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $53.53 | $70.30 | $92.32 | |
| 2028 | $51.40 | $75.56 | $111 | |
| 2029 | $50.66 | $81.22 | $130 | |
| 2030 | $50.62 | $87.30 | $151 | |
| 2031 | $51.02 | $93.84 | $173 |
