The iShares World Equity Factor Rotation Active UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund domiciled in Ireland and issued by iShares III plc. It seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities from companies in developed markets worldwide, utilizing a proprietary factor rotation model to provide diversified and tactical exposure to style factors such as value, momentum, and quality. Launched on January 16, 2025, the fund is accumulating, meaning dividends are reinvested rather than distributed, and it carries a total expense ratio of 0.30% per annum. Classified under SFDR Article 8, it promotes environmental and social characteristics while adhering to ESG screening to exclude companies involved in certain controversial activities, potentially narrowing its investment universe. With around 135-139 holdings, a price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 24-25x, and a price-to-book ratio of about 3.6-3.9x, the ETF benchmarks against the MSCI World Net TR Index and maintains unhedged currency exposure in USD. This strategy positions it as a dynamic tool for global equity investors pursuing factor-based returns in a sustainable framework.
