The ETF is managed by BlackRock through its iShares platform and trades under the ticker IWF in the U.S. market.
Classified as an international equity ETF, IWF aims to reflect, before fees and expenses, the performance of stocks representing the growth segment of the U.S. equity market. To achieve this objective, the fund follows a passive management strategy, maintaining a portfolio that seeks to replicate the composition and weighting of its reference index.
The Russell 1000 Growth Index is derived from the broader Russell 1000 universe, focusing on companies with growth-related characteristics such as earnings and revenue expansion potential.
The index is weighted according to market-based criteria defined by its methodology, giving greater representation to companies with higher economic relevance. Periodic reviews may include reclassification, inclusion, or removal of constituents, and these changes are mirrored by the ETF.

IWF provides exposure to the growth segment of large-cap U.S. companies, encompassing a broad range of economic sectors. Sector diversification includes:
Information technology.
Consumer discretionary.
Healthcare.

This composition reflects the typical sector concentration associated with growth-oriented companies in the U.S. equity market.
Structure and costs
Shares of IWF are traded on the secondary market, while creation and redemption occur through authorized participants, a mechanism designed to keep the ETF’s market price close to its net asset value (NAV). The fund charges a management fee consistent with passively managed ETFs and does not apply a performance fee.
