ISHARES RUSSELL 3000 ETF

iShares Russell 3000 ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the Russell 3000 Index, a broad-based benchmark composed of U.S. equities representing approximately 98% of the total market capitalization of publicly traded U.S.-domiciled companies. Launched in 2000 and managed by BlackRock, it provides investors with exposure to a comprehensive cross-section of the U.S. equity market, encompassing large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks across diverse sectors including technology, financials, health care, consumer discretionary, and industrials. The fund holds over 2,500 securities, employing a float-adjusted, market-capitalization-weighted approach to mirror the index's composition. It distributes dividends quarterly and maintains a low expense ratio through its passive management strategy, which generally invests at least 80% of assets in index components, with flexibility for up to 20% in derivatives like futures and options for efficient tracking. iShares Russell 3000 ETF serves as a core holding for those seeking diversified U.S. market participation, offering liquidity through daily trading and securities lending to enhance returns.
