Index providers, like MSCI or FTSE Russell, are responsible for constructing and monitoring a wide variety of indexes.
During periodic reviews (or rebalances), index providers may make changes to their indexes. For example, a provider will remove securities that no longer meet the criteria for index inclusion as outlined in its methodology.
Unlike individual securities, indexes aren’t directly investable. Instead, investors use index funds, including index ETFs, which are designed to track the performance of designated indexes, less fees. Given the rise in usage of index funds, large amounts of assets now seek to track these indexes.4
That’s why it’s important for investors to monitor index rebalances. Updates to index holdings, like additions to, deletions from and weight changes within an index, may have a corresponding impact on iShares ETFs.5
For more information on these changes and their impact on the funds listed below, see the full report.
