Why invest in iShares?
An investment in iShares gives you the unique opportunity to buy or sell an entire portfolio of stocks in a single transaction. iShares can also work as flexible tools for building a well-constructed portfolio: a portfolio thats highly diversified and covers the investing styles, market sectors, industries, and regions that are appropriate for you. With iShares, its easy to add exposure to any combination of equity opportunities. They can complement an existing core portfolio, enabling investors to add specific kinds of exposure: an aggressive sector play; or a more conservative value tilt, for example. And they make it easy to add international exposure to a portfolio. iShares offer you a low-cost way to gain either long- or short-term exposure to their related indexes. Thats because fees for iShares, which are passively managed, are generally lower than that of actively managed funds (See “What are iShares Trust expenses?” for details).
