Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. equities in the aerospace and defense sector.
The fund tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of securities with similar investment characteristics to the index rather than all its constituents. Because the fund may not hold all index securities, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund concentrates its holdings in the aerospace and defense sector to the same extent as the index.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
