Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

The iShares MSCI United Kingdom Small-Cap ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of small-capitalization U.K. equities, providing exposure to the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.K. market.

🎯 Investment Strategy

The ETF employs a passively managed, index-based approach, attempting to replicate the performance of the MSCI United Kingdom Small Cap Index. It invests in a representative sample of the index's constituent securities to achieve its investment objective.

✨ Key Features

  • Provides exposure to small-cap U.K. equities, which can offer the potential for higher growth but also higher volatility compared to large-cap stocks
  • Passively managed, index-based approach aims to minimize costs and tracking error
  • Diversified portfolio of small-cap U.K. companies across various sectors
  • Liquid and transparent exchange-traded fund structure

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Small-cap stocks may be subject to higher volatility and lower liquidity than large-cap stocks
  • Concentration in the U.K. market exposes the fund to economic and political risks specific to that region
  • Passive management approach means the fund will not actively attempt to outperform the index
  • Currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and British pound may impact returns for U.S. investors

👤 Best For

The iShares MSCI United Kingdom Small-Cap ETF may be suitable for investors seeking exposure to the small-cap segment of the U.K. equity market as part of a diversified portfolio. It may be appropriate for investors with a higher risk tolerance and a longer-term investment horizon who are looking to potentially benefit from the growth potential of small-cap companies.
