Our read on IWL
BMost broad U.S. large-cap funds hold many hundreds of stocks. IWL tracks the Russell Top 200, about 200 names, so the market's biggest companies do the heavy lifting. Narrower lens, standard iShares plumbing.
The fund seeks to track the Russell Top 200 Index and provide broad exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks.
Why people hold it
- About 200 holdings rather than a full large-cap sweep, so the market's largest companies carry real weight instead of being diluted by hundreds of smaller names.ishares.com
- Hugs the Russell Top 200 Index closely. Index-following is among the tightest in its large-cap peer group.
- Running since 2009 under BlackRock's iShares roof, a multi-billion-dollar fund that pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- 0.15% a year is above the large-cap norm. SCHX and VV run 0.03%, so the mega-cap slice costs extra.
- Thinly traded next to the household-name large-cap funds, which can mean wider spreads at the moment you trade.
- Stopping at the top tier leaves out the mid and smaller companies that Russell 1000 trackers like VONE include.
