iShares MSCI World Small Cap UCITS ETF

The iShares MSCI World Small Cap UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the MSCI World Small Cap Index, which captures the equity market performance of small-cap companies across developed markets globally. By offering exposure to over 3,400 individual stocks, this fund provides broad diversification within the small-cap segment, encompassing a wide range of sectors such as industrials, technology, consumer services, financials, healthcare, and more.
