IAK
iShares U.S. Insurance ETFIAK Fund Description
IAK tracks a market-cap index of U.S. insurance companies.
IAK Factset Analytics Insight
IAK is a solid, broad-based insurance fund that also makes a play for the small-cap end of the segment. In this case, the omission of one mega-stock changes the fund's exposure considerably. Berkshire Hathaway (over 25% of the segment benchmark) does not fit into IAK's definition of the insurance sector. By excluding this mega-cap from its cap-weighted index, IAK cuts its weighted average market cap drastically. The fund also loses points in Efficiency due to its high expense ratio. IAK's median daily trading volume is on the low side, but consistent. Still, investors should place limit orders to help contain execution costs. Overall, IAK offers a solid take on the segment at a manageable cost, earning it a place on our Analyst Pick list.
