Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The iShares MSCI EAFE Min Vol Factor ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of developed market equities that, in the aggregate, have lower volatility characteristics relative to the broader developed equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI EAFE Minimum Volatility Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of developed-market equities outside the U.S. and Canada that are selected and weighted to minimize portfolio volatility relative to the broader MSCI EAFE Index. Because the fund does not hold all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index it seeks to track.
