iShares Edge MSCI World Momentum Factor
High momentum global companies
Details
ETF description
This ETF is designed to give investors exposure to global companies that exhibit strong momentum in their stock prices. It tracks an index that selects companies based on their recent performance, favoring those whose stock prices have been rising compared to others. The idea behind this approach is that stocks that have performed well in the past may continue to do so in the near future.
This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking for growth opportunities in global equities and are comfortable with a strategy that emphasizes recent performance. It could suit those who believe in the momentum effect, which suggests that stocks with strong recent performance may continue to rise. However, investing in momentum can also come with increased risk, as price trends can change quickly.

ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
