Our read on IOO
BGlobal investing boiled down to 100 mega-caps. Running since 2000, IOO tracks the S&P Global 100: blue chips that already sell on every continent, rather than the whole world's market.
The Fund seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of 100 large-capitalization global equities.
Why people hold it
- Launched in 2000, one of the original global blue-chip index funds, and a multi-billion-dollar fund today.
- Straight indexing, no manager discretion. It has tracked the S&P Global 100 very closely.ishares.com
- At 0.40%, it runs a touch under the typical index wrapper in its peer group.
- One ticket for global large-cap equity instead of bolting a US fund to an international one.
Worth knowing
- About 100 names, so a handful of mega-caps do the heavy lifting. Broad wrappers like VT own thousands.
- 0.40% is real money beside the broad-index cheapies: VT at 0.06%, SCHK at 0.03%.
- Income lands once or twice a year, not monthly, and volume is moderate rather than heavy.
