ETF description

This ETF is designed to provide exposure to global companies that are considered to have high‑quality characteristics. It tracks an index that selects companies based on factors like profitability, stable earnings, and low levels of debt. The goal is to focus on firms that are financially strong and have the potential to perform well over time, regardless of short‑term market fluctuations. By emphasizing these quality factors, the ETF seeks to offer investors a portfolio of companies that are more resilient during economic downturns or periods of market stress.

This ETF may appeal to investors who want to invest globally but prefer to focus on financially sound companies with a proven track record of stability. It could be suitable for those looking for a more conservative approach to global equity investing, aiming to reduce the risk associated with more volatile or speculative stocks.

Issuer details

iShares ETFs are issued and managed by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company.

With 800+ products globally and over $2trn in assets (as at June 2024), iShares ETFs are a flexible, low‑cost way for investors to gain exposure to various market segments, including fixed income, emerging markets and broad‑based indexes.

Index details

The Edge MSCI World Quality Factor index provides investors with exposure to large and mid‑cap stocks across developed markets, employing a quality factor strategy that focuses on high return on equity, stable earnings growth, and low financial leverage. By targeting high‑quality companies, the index aims to capture the performance of firms with strong fundamentals and robust financial health.

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.
Whenever you invest, your capital is at risk
This could mean the value of your investments goes down as well as up.
