iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Fund

The iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Fund is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide targeted exposure to U.S. equities with strong value characteristics. Managed by BlackRock and linked to the MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index, the fund systematically selects U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks that exhibit attractive fundamentals, such as low price-to-book ratios, low price-to-forward earnings, and favorable enterprise value-to-cash-flow metrics. This approach aims to identify companies perceived as undervalued relative to their financial health and future earnings potential. Comprising a diverse portfolio across various U.S. sectors, the fund’s holdings include prominent firms such as Cisco Systems, AT&T, IBM, and Intel, reflecting both sector diversification and a bias toward established industry leaders. The fund’s strategy seeks to capitalize on market inefficiencies by concentrating on value-oriented stocks, which have historically shown resilience in volatile periods and play a critical stabilizing role in diversified portfolios. With a low ongoing charge and adherence to UCITS standards for investor protection and transparency, the iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Fund stands out as a robust instrument for accessing the value segment of the U.S. equity market.
