IWM
IWM Fund Description
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF tracks a market-cap-weighted index of US small-cap stocks. The index selects stocks ranked 1,001-3,000 by market cap.
IWM Factset Analytics Insight
IWM is among the best choices in the crowded US small-cap field. The fund tracks the popular Russell 2000 index and boasts low holdings costs with excellent liquidity, features that have helped it attract billions in assets. IWM's broad basket makes it one of the most diversified funds in the segment. Notably, the fund delves into micro-cap territory, and has often been riskier than our neutral benchmark (as measured by beta) as a consequence. However, including micro-caps is a valid and possibly desirable approach to small-caps, and IWM looks reasonably similar to the benchmark in most other respects. Competitors TWOK and VTWO also track the Russell 2000. IWM charges a bit more than these peers, but tracking stats show that, in practice, it is often just as cheap if not cheaper to hold. IWM trounces these two funds (and all other segment peers) in liquidity with its massive volume. In all, the ETF offers cheap, liquid, diversified exposure to the US small-cap space.
