iShares International Equity Factor ETF Profile
| XBER Exchange | US Country |
Overview
This fund primarily focuses on investing in a diversified portfolio of large- and mid-capitalization equity securities outside of the USA. By adhering to a strategy that targets at least 80% of its assets in the securities that form part of its underlying index, the fund aims to mirror the economic characteristics of its benchmark index. The underlying index itself is drawn from the STOXX Global 1800 ex USA index, excluding U.S.-based equities to provide investors with exposure to international markets. Through an optimization process, the fund seeks to maximize exposure to five key target factors: momentum, quality, value, low volatility, and size. This strategic approach is designed to offer investors a balanced exposure to securities that are chosen based on their potential to contribute to the overall investment performance while managing risk.
Products and Services
- Component Securities Investment
By investing at least 80% of its assets in the components that make up its underlying index, the fund ensures that it closely mirrors the performance of selected large- and mid-cap equity securities from the STOXX Global 1800 ex USA index. This approach is designed for investors looking for exposure to international equity markets while aiming to replicate the characteristics of the underlying index.
- Economic Characteristics Replication
The fund invests in securities and financial instruments that are substantially identical to the component securities of its underlying index. This strategy is aimed at replicating the economic characteristics of the index components, allowing the fund to maintain a portfolio that performs in accordance to the benchmark index, minus the fees and expenses.
- Optimization Process
Securities are selected and weighted through an optimization process with the goal of maximizing exposure to five target factors: momentum, quality, value, low volatility, and size. This process enhances the fund's aim to achieve a balance between risk and return by incorporating factors that are considered to have the potential for positive investment outcomes.
