IVW

The iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF (IVW) invests almost entirely in U.S. large‑cap equities that exhibit above‑average earnings and revenue growth, selecting its holdings from the S&P 500 Growth Index. Its sector tilt is heavily weighted toward information‑technology and communication services, with sizable allocations to health‑care, consumer discretionary and financials, and it holds a diversified basket of roughly 200‑plus individual stocks. The fund seeks to replicate the index’s performance through a pass‑through, full‑replication approach, keeping costs low and providing daily liquidity. IVW is appropriate for investors who want concentrated exposure to the growth segment of the U.S. large‑cap market, are comfortable with the higher volatility that growth stocks can bring, and are looking for a long‑term, equity‑focused component within a broader portfolio.
