ILCB Profile
The iShares Morningstar U.S. Equity ETF is designed to provide investment results that closely correspond to the performance of the Morningstar U.S. Equity Index. This index measures the performance of large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks that exhibit a blend of growth and value characteristics, as determined by Morningstar, Inc.s proprietary index methodology. By focusing on companies with these blended characteristics, the ETF aims to capture a diverse representation of the U.S. equity market, balancing growth potential with value-oriented investment strategies.
The fund is committed to investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise its underlying index, or in investments with similar economic characteristics. This ensures that the ETFs holdings closely reflect the indexs composition and performance. Additionally, the ETF maintains flexibility to invest in securities that may not be in the index but possess similar economic traits, which helps in maintaining alignment with the index's performance objectives.
The Morningstar U.S. Equity Index encompasses a broad range of companies, spanning various sectors and industries, to provide a comprehensive view of the U.S. equity market. The index methodology used by Morningstar involves evaluating companies based on their growth and value attributes, allowing the ETF to offer a diversified portfolio that targets companies with balanced growth and value investment qualities. This approach aims to mitigate risk while seeking opportunities for capital appreciation.
As part of the iShares family, the ETF benefits from the extensive expertise and global reach of BlackRock, its fund provider. BlackRock's advanced investment management strategies and resources are employed to enhance the ETF's performance and manage risk effectively.
