IWM

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) seeks to track the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, which represents approximately 2,000 U.S. small‑cap companies across all sectors and is heavily weighted toward domestic equities. Its investment approach is a full‑replication, market‑cap‑weighted strategy that holds the constituent stocks of the index to reflect its sector composition and diversification. Because it provides broad exposure to U.S. small‑cap stocks, the fund is suitable for investors who want to add growth‑oriented, diversified small‑cap exposure to a core portfolio or complement larger‑cap holdings for long‑term asset allocation.
