iShares S&P 500 Industrials Sector UCITS ETF

iShares S&P 500 Industrials Sector UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the S&P 500 Industrials Sector, following the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Its primary purpose is to provide investors with exposure to leading U.S. industrial companies, encompassing manufacturers and distributors of capital goods—as well as firms specializing in aerospace and defense, construction, engineering, electrical equipment, and industrial machinery. The fund also includes commercial services such as logistics, office services, and transportation providers across airlines, rail, road, and marine sectors. This ETF employs physical replication, holding a diversified portfolio of large-cap equities in line with the sector's weighting in the S&P 500, and is structured to accumulate returns by reinvesting dividends rather than distributing them to shareholders. Managed by BlackRock, the fund is domiciled in Ireland and features a low total expense ratio of 0.15% per annum. It serves as a specialized tool for investors seeking targeted access to the U.S. industrials segment within a single, transparent, and cost-efficient vehicle, playing a significant role in sector allocation and diversification strategies within global equity portfolios.
