IWM

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) provides broad exposure to roughly 2,000 small‑cap U.S. companies representing all major sectors of the domestic equity market. It seeks to track the Russell 2000 Index by holding the underlying securities in a market‑cap‑weighted, passively‑managed portfolio that mirrors the index’s composition. Because the fund focuses on U.S. small‑cap equities, it offers investors a way to diversify a larger‑cap portfolio and capture the growth potential of smaller businesses. IWM is suitable for investors who want a low‑maintenance, diversified small‑cap exposure as part of a long‑term, equity‑focused allocation.
