iShares Edge MSCI Europe Momentum Factor UCITS ETF

The iShares Edge MSCI Europe Momentum Factor UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the MSCI Europe Momentum Index, focusing on a subset of large- and mid-cap stocks from developed European markets exhibiting strong upward price momentum trends. Managed by BlackRock and domiciled in Ireland, it employs a sampling technique to replicate the index by selecting the most relevant constituents across diversified sectors, providing investors with targeted exposure to momentum strategies within Europe's equity landscape. As a UCITS-compliant vehicle, the ETF adheres to stringent EU regulations, including diversification rules like the 5/10/40 guideline, asset segregation by an independent custodian, high liquidity, and transparent reporting to protect investors. Available in both accumulating (reinvesting dividends) and distributing (semi-annual payouts) share classes, it carries a low total expense ratio of 0.25% per annum, making it a cost-efficient option for accessing European momentum factors. With a fund size exceeding EUR 849 million for the accumulating version, it plays a key role in offering regulated, liquid access to factor-based investing in one of the world's major equity regions.
