📎 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.

✨ 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
