iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the iSTOXX FactSet Ageing Population Index, targeting companies worldwide deriving significant revenues from products and services for the global ageing population, defined as individuals aged 60 and above. Launched on September 8, 2016, and domiciled in Ireland, this accumulating ETF managed by BlackRock reinvests dividends, employs physical replication, and maintains a total expense ratio of 0.40% per annum. With net assets around USD 643 million and holdings in approximately 339 stocks across small-, mid-, and large-cap firms in developed and emerging markets, it spans sectors like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, senior care, insurance, and leisure services. Denominated in unhedged USD, it exposes investors to currency fluctuations while carrying an Article 8 SFDR classification for sustainable considerations. In financial markets, the ETF offers diversified equity exposure to long-term demographic trends fueled by population ageing, medical advances, and societal shifts, enabling targeted allocation to this growth theme.
