Our read on IWB
AThe Russell 1000 in one ticker: US large caps plus the mid-cap tier underneath them. IWB has tracked that index since 2000, making it the veteran of the group, though newer clones now chase the same benchmark for less.
The fund seeks to track the Russell 1000 Index and provides broad exposure to U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks.
Why people hold it
- One holding covers the Russell 1000, broad exposure to US large- and mid-cap stocks, so the megacap names and the tier below them arrive together.ishares.com
- Trading since May 2000 and still actively traded, which is what keeps bid-ask spreads thin for everyday buyers.
- Follows its index very closely, one of the tightest index-following records in its large-cap peer group.
- A multi-billion-dollar iShares fund with a quarterly distribution schedule and no exotic structure: a plain 1940 Act ETF.
Worth knowing
- At 0.15% a year it sits above the peer median. VONE tracks the same Russell 1000 for 0.06%, and SCHX and VV run large-cap core mandates at 0.03%.
- All equity, all US. There are no bonds or overseas names inside to soften a domestic large-cap drawdown.
