IMTM Profile
The iShares MSCI International Momentum Factor ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to international stocks that exhibit strong momentum characteristics. The fund targets companies showing higher momentum relative to the broader market, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index, which includes a diverse range of developed markets outside of the United States. This focus on momentum allows the ETF to potentially capitalize on stocks that are experiencing upward price trends and strong performance relative to their peers.
Under typical market conditions, the ETF invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities that make up the underlying index. This includes direct investments in the index’s component securities as well as investments with economic characteristics similar to those of the index components. This approach ensures that the ETF closely tracks the performance of the index, providing investors with targeted exposure to high-momentum international stocks.
The underlying index is specifically designed to identify stocks with higher momentum characteristics compared to the traditional MSCI World ex USA Index. Momentum is a factor that reflects the tendency of stocks with strong recent performance to continue performing well in the short to medium term. The index employs a systematic approach to select stocks based on their relative strength and performance trends, aiming to capture the potential benefits of investing in high-momentum equities.
Managed by iShares, a leading provider of exchange-traded funds, the ETF leverages robust investment strategies and expertise to deliver performance aligned with its momentum-focused mandate. By concentrating on international stocks with strong momentum, the ETF offers investors an opportunity to gain exposure to companies that are demonstrating relative strength and positive performance trends on a global scale. This strategic focus aims to enhance returns by investing in stocks that are likely to outperform the broader market.
