IWM

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) seeks to track the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, which represents roughly 2,000 of the smallest publicly traded U.S. companies across all sectors. The fund holds a broad, market‑capitalization‑weighted basket of U.S. small‑cap equities, providing exposure to a diversified slice of the domestic economy. Its investment approach is passive, aiming to replicate the index by holding the same securities in proportion to their weight in the benchmark. IWM is suitable for investors who want diversified small‑cap exposure, want to complement larger‑cap holdings, or seek long‑term growth potential from the U.S. equity market’s more nimble companies.
