IJKAiShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF

IMCVAiShares Morningstar Mid-Cap Value ETF

In short

IJK IJK splits the S&P MidCap 400 in half and keeps the growth side: roughly 250 mid-size US companies picked by the index's growth and momentum screen, for 0.16% a year. It has been doing exactly that since 2000.

IMCV No data

Stated mandate

IJK The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. mid-capitalization equities exhibiting growth characteristics.

IMCV No data

Why people hold it

IJK A 2000 vintage, which makes it one of the original style-box ETFs and now a multi-billion-dollar fund. Two decades of live history is rare in the factor aisle.
0.16% a year, roughly half the typical fee among the factor funds it competes with.
Growth here is a published rulebook, not a manager's hunch: S&P's own growth and momentum screen applied to the MidCap 400. The fund tracks that index closely, among the tighter trackers in its group.ishares.com
Mid caps are the slice most portfolios skip. This one covers about 250 of them, with cash paid out quarterly.

IMCV No data

Worth knowing

IJK This is half the mid-cap market by design. The growth screen leaves the value side of the 400 on the table, so it is a tilt, not full mid-cap coverage.
Volatility is the trade-off. Mid-size companies screened for growth and momentum move more than a broad total-market fund, and that shows up in this fund's risk profile.
Volume is moderate rather than headline-grabbing, so spreads can widen on chunky orders.
