IJHAiShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF

MIDECXtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF

In short

IJH The mid-cap middle child, done cheap. IJH has tracked the S&P MidCap 400 since 2000 for five basis points, and it's one of the most heavily traded ways to own roughly 400 mid-sized US companies.

MIDE Mid-cap America with a filter: MIDE tracks S&P's Scored & Screened cut of the MidCap 400, holding roughly 300 of the names. Launched in 2021, it's the small, screened cousin in a cohort ruled by giant plain-vanilla trackers.

Stated mandate

IJH The fund seeks to track the S&P MidCap 400 Index and provide exposure to mid-sized U.S. companies. It is presented as a low-cost core portfolio holding.

MIDE The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its underlying index.

Why people hold it

IJH Five basis points a year, about a third of the typical cost in its S&P 400 peer group, and a fraction of MDY's 0.23% for the very same index.
Running since 2000 and among the most actively traded funds in the mid-cap aisle, with assets in the multi-billions.
The mandate is one line: hold the S&P MidCap 400, roughly 400 mid-sized US companies. No tilts, no screens, no style drift. Pays quarterly.ishares.com
iShares built it as a core building block, and it sits among the strongest implementations of this index in its peer group.ishares.com

MIDE The screen is the point: it starts from the S&P MidCap 400 and follows the Scored & Screened index rules, landing at roughly 300 stocks instead of the full roster.
At 0.15%, the fee lands right on the median for S&P MidCap 400 trackers and below MDY's 0.23%.
No mandate mystery: a straight index fund that aims to match its stated benchmark before fees, and it pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

IJH It is not the cheapest seat: SPMD tracks the same index at 0.03%. Two basis points, if cost is your only tiebreaker.
Mid-caps only. No mega-cap ballast, no small caps, so this works as a sleeve beside a large-cap core rather than a whole US portfolio.
All US, all stocks. Nothing here diversifies you outside American equity markets.

MIDE A small asset base and thin trading mean wider bid-ask spreads than the mid-cap heavyweights, a cost that shows up at the trade, not in the fee.
Unscreened exposure to the same mid-cap universe costs less: SPMD at 0.03%, IJH at 0.05%, IVOO at 0.07%.
The screens drop names the parent index keeps, so this follows the Scored & Screened version and moves differently from the headline S&P MidCap 400.
