The iShares U.S. Small-Cap Equity Factor ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. small-capitalization stocks that have favorable exposure to target style factors subject to constraints.
The fund tracks the STOXX U.S. Small-Cap Equity Factor Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of small-cap stocks selected and weighted to maximize exposure to momentum, quality, value, and low volatility while controlling sector and industry exposures relative to the parent index. Because the fund may not hold all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index it seeks to track.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.
| Stocks | 98.95% |
| Cash & short-term | 8.76% |
| Derivatives | 0.05% |
| Other | 0.00% |
These positions come to 107.76% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

How it has done
SMLF share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 11.64%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 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.
