Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.K. equities.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI United Kingdom Index, which measures large- and mid-capitalization U.K. equities, using representative sampling to hold a portfolio with investment characteristics similar to the index rather than all its components. Because the fund may not hold all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund concentrates its holdings in industries to the same extent as the index, which as of August 2025 includes significant weightings in consumer goods and services and financials.
