MSCI History

uniquely India/Getty Images

The MSCI Indexes are a measurement of stock market performance in a particular area. Like other indexes , such as the Dow Jones Averages or the S&P 500, it tracks the performance of the stocks included in the index. 

MSCI Indexes are used as the base for exchange-traded funds . The ETF duplicates the Index's stock holdings. That allows investors to profit from gains in the Index.

Similarly, Indexes are also the benchmarks that actively managed mutual funds use as bases. The exchange-traded funds follow the MSCI Indexes. Managed mutual funds try to outperform them by picking better stocks.

MSCI selects stocks for its equity indexes that are easily traded and have high liquidity. The stocks must have active investor participation and be without owner restrictions. MSCI must balance accuracy and efficiency. It must include enough stocks to represent the underlying equity market. At the same time, it can't have so many stocks that ETFs and mutual funds can't mimic the index.

Each Index sums up the total value of all stocks' market capitalization. That's the stock price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares.   The S&P 500, but not the Dow, uses the same methodology. Market caps are calculated in both U.S. dollars and in local currency. That gives you an idea of how the index is doing without the impact of exchange rates.  

Each index is updated daily, Monday through Friday. Additionally, each index is reviewed quarterly and rebalanced twice a year.   That's when its manager adds or subtracts stocks to make sure the index still accurately reflects the composition of the underlying equity market it measures.

For that reason, MSCI Indexes have the power to change the market. When an index is rebalanced, all the ETFs and mutual funds that track it must buy and sell the same stocks. Stocks that are added to the index usually find their share prices rising. The opposite happens to stocks that are dropped from an index.

MSCI has indexes for a variety of geographic sub-areas, as well as global indexes for stock categories such as small-cap, large-cap, and mid-cap. The four most popular track emerging markets, frontier markets, developed markets excluding the United States and Canada, and the world market.  

The Emerging Markets Index tracks the performance of stock markets in the following 26 developing countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.   The MSCI Kuwait Index will be included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index beginning November 2020.  

In June 2017, MSCI Inc. announced it was adding over 200 China A-shares. Those shares are listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen and denominated in yuan.   As a result, all exchange-traded funds that track the MSCI index were forced to add those shares.

Saudi Arabia is also included in the Gulf Cooperation Council Country Index.  

The index compiles the market capitalization of all companies that are listed in these countries' stock markets.   The index is considered a good measurement of the stock performance of emerging markets.

The Frontier Markets Index tracks the stock markets of countries which are even more volatile than emerging markets. It was created in 2007. The countries in the Index are Bahrain, Bangladesh, Croatia, Estonia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, and Vietnam. That also includes the West African Economic and Monetary Union. It consists of the following countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. Currently, the MSCI WAEMU Indexes include securities classified in Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso.

The following frontier countries are in their own standalone country indexes. They aren't included in the Frontier Market Index: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Iceland, Jamaica, Malta, Palestine, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.   

Frontier markets can also very profitable since they have lots of room for growth. The main risk is that they are very thinly traded. This makes them difficult to sell if the economy deteriorates. It also means they can more easily be manipulated by hedge funds. You need to understand the countries, their political systems, and their economic challenges. These countries are vulnerable to global shifts in trade, currency, and central bank policy changes.

The EAFE Index measures developed markets excluding the United States and Canada. EAFE stands for Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It covers 85% of the market capitalization in each of the countries.

The MSCI EAFE Index consists of the following developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.  

MSCI World Index 

The World Index measures the market performance of large and mid-cap companies that have a global presence. It is often quoted by financial media to describe how the world's stock market is doing. It excludes stocks from emerging market countries, so it should be considered a developed world index.

It includes the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

The MSCI AC World Index includes all the countries in the World and Emerging Markets Indexes. "AC" stands for "All Country."

In 1968, Morgan Stanley published the Capital International Indexes. These were the first indexes for markets outside of the United States. The MSCI Developed Market Indexes were published the following year.

It took almost 20 years, until 1987, for the Emerging Markets Index to be published. In 1996, MSCI published the All Country Indexes for developing markets and emerging markets.

On July 2, 1998, MSCI Inc. was incorporated.   In addition to the indexes, it provides services that analyze risk and return for various markets. Its competitors are Axioma Inc., BlackRock Solutions, Bloomberg Finance L.P., CME Group Inc., CME Group Services LLC, FactSet Research Systems Inc., London Stock Exchange Group PLC, S&P Global Inc., and WisdomTree and Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

In 2007, MSCI launched the Global Islamic Index and the Factor Indexes. Since 2010, it has launched several new indexes each year.

MSCI: What Does It Stand For and Its Importance

Investopedia / Jake Shi

MSCI is an acronym for Morgan Stanley Capital International. It is an investment research firm that provides stock indexes , portfolio risk and performance analytics, and governance tools to institutional investors and hedge funds. MSCI is perhaps best known for its benchmark indexes—including the MSCI Emerging Market Index and MSCI Frontier Markets Index—which are managed by MSCI Barra. The company continues to launch new indexes each year.

Key Takeaways

• MSCI provides investment data and analytics services to investors.
• MSCI was formed when Morgan Stanley bought the licensing rights to Captial International data in 1986.
• The firm is perhaps best known for its series of stock indexes, which are used by many mutual funds and ETFs as benchmarks.

Capital International introduced a number of stock indexes in 1965 to mirror the international markets—the first global stock market indexes for markets outside the United States. When Morgan Stanley bought the licensing rights to Capital's data in 1998, it began using the acronym MSCI, with Morgan Stanley becoming its largest shareholder.

In 2004, MSCI acquired Barra, a risk management and portfolio analytics firm, for approximately $816.4 million. The merger of both entities resulted in a new firm, MSCI Barra, which was spun off in an initial public offering (IPO) in 2007, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the stock ticker MSCI. The firm became a fully independent, stand-alone public company in 2009.

The firm provides its clients with investment tools including those from Barra, RiskMetrics, and Measurisk. It also publishes indexes that are widely available to the investing public.

MSCI is perhaps best known for its stock indexes, which focus on different geographic areas and stock types such as small-caps, mid-caps, and large-caps. They track the performance of the stocks that are included in them and act as a base for exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As of Q4 2022, there were $14.97 trillion in assets under management (AUM) benchmarked to the firm's indexes.

MSCI offers more than 160,000 indexes. Some of the most widely used are the Emerging Markets Index, Frontier Markets Index, All Country World Index, and EAFE Index.

MSCI Emerging Market Index

Launched in 1988, this index lists constituents from 24 emerging economies including China, Egypt, India, Korea, Thailand, Brazil, South Africa, and Mexico. It compiles the market capitalization of all the companies that are listed on these countries' stock exchanges. 

The Emerging Markets Index is considered a good way to track the performance and growth of emerging markets. Emerging markets offer investors growth potential as their economies expand, as well as creating risk diversification for global investors.

MSCI Frontier Markets Index

The Frontier Market Index is used to track markets in countries that are considered more volatile and unpredictable than emerging markets. This index focuses on 28 markets from the Middle East, Africa, South America, and Europe. Some of the frontier regions with stocks included in this index are Vietnam, Morocco, Iceland, Romania, and Bahrain.

Frontier markets can be profitable for investors since they have plenty of room for growth. However, they are not heavily traded, which can make them difficult to sell if a country's economy takes a downturn due to global or local changes.

MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI)

This is the firm's flagship global equity index, which tracks the performance of small- to large-cap stocks from 23 developed and 24 emerging markets. The more than 2,900 stocks represented are for companies that have a global presence. It covers about 85% of the market capitalization in each market that it includes.

The ACWI is often used as a way to represent the global stock market.

MSCI EAFE Index

EAFE is an abbreviation for Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. This lists 826 stocks from 21 developed market countries excluding Canada and the United States. It covers approximately 85% of the market capitalization in each of the countries it includes.

EAFE countries are considered highly stable. They are widely traded, making it easy to both buy and sell, even in times of economic trouble.

Index Reviews and Weightings

The MSCI indexes are market cap-weighted indexes , which means stocks are weighted according to their market capitalization—calculated as stock price multiplied by the total number of shares outstanding . The stock with the largest market capitalization gets the highest weighting on the index. This reflects the fact that large-cap companies have a bigger impact on an economy than mid- or small-cap companies. A percent change in the price of the large-cap stocks in an MSCI index will lead to a bigger movement in the index than a change in the price of a small-cap company.

Each index in the MSCI family is reviewed quarterly and rebalanced twice a year. Stocks are added or removed from an index by analysts within MSCI to ensure that the index still acts as an effective equity benchmark for the market it represents.

When an MSCI index is rebalanced, ETFs and mutual funds must also adjust their fund holdings since they are created to mirror the performance of the indexes. 

What Is the Purpose of MSCI?

MSCI provides tools to support and inform the investment industry. The firm provides research, data, and tools to help clients analyze and invest in different global markets. MSCI is also known for its stock indexes, which are used as benchmarks for funds tracking different global markets.

What Is the Difference Between the S&P 500 and MSCI?

The S&P 500 Index is a market value-weighted index of 500 stocks that generally represent the broader U.S. stock market. The MSCI All Country World Index is a market capitalization-weighted index that measures market performance in both developed and emerging markets.

How Many Stocks Are In the MSCI World?

The MSCI All Country World Index includes nearly 3,000 stocks from 47 markets. It includes both developed and emerging markets around the world.

Morgan Stanley Capital International, or MSCI, is a firm that provides investment data and analytics services to investors. It was formed in 1986 when Morgan Stanley bought the licensing rights to data from Captial International.

MSCI is known for its stock indexes, which are used by mutual funds, ETFs, and individual investors as market benchmarks. There are multiple MSCI indexes tracking different sectors of the global economy, including emerging, frontier, developed, and global markets.

MSCI Barra Announces MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology and Transition Plan for the MSCI Standard and Small Cap Indices

MSCI Barra, a leading provider of benchmark indices and risk management analytics products, announced today the details of the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices methodology and the plan for transitioning the MSCI Standard and Small Cap Indices to the methodology. The transition plan involves a two-phase transition implemented as of the close of November 30, 2007 and the close of May 30, 2008, respectively.

“Today’s announcement will result in enhancements to the existing MSCI International Equity Indices as well as the creation of new indices. The resulting integrated investable family of indices will provide investors with broader market coverage of international equity markets segmented by market cap size, value and growth, and industries," said Henry Fernandez, CEO and President of MSCI Barra. “The changes announced today demonstrate that as markets and investment processes continue to evolve, MSCI Barra remains committed to enhancing the MSCI International Indices to provide the benchmark tools investors need for global asset allocation, mandate attribution, portfolio construction, and performance evaluation”.

MSCI Barra has posted the Global Investable Market Indices methodology book, including the transition plan, on its website at https://www.mscibarra.com/products/indices/GIMImethodology.html . A pro-forma list of constituents of the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices – including the new Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Investable Market Indices as well as the Provisional Standard and Provisional Small Cap Indices – will be available on May 3, 2007. The changes resulting from the May 2007 Index Review of the current Standard Indices and Small Cap Indices will also be announced at the same time, earlier than the usual announcement schedule. 

MSCI Barra will begin calculating the Provisional Standard and Small Cap Indices based on the Global Investable Market Indices methodology, as well as the new Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Investable Market Indices, as of the close of May 31, 2007 and begin distributing the indices from June 5, 2007.

Index Construction and Maintenance Methodology: The enhancements to the current Standard and Small Cap Index methodologies set forth in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices methodology reflect the changing nature of international equity markets and the evolution of investment processes globally. The final methodology is largely similar to the one presented in the earlier consultation proposal with minor changes to the global minimum size range and parameters for index continuity and periodic maintenance. The enhancements will allow the MSCI Standard and Small Cap Indices to continue to meet the needs of investors seeking indices that reflect the international opportunity set and geographic, style and sector diversification within equity global equity markets.

• The enhanced Standard Indices will exhaustively cover the large- and mid-cap segments of the investable equity universe by targeting a range around 85% coverage of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each market, while striving to achieve a balance between appropriate market representation in size segment composites within countries and reasonable size integrity across countries.
• The enhanced Small Cap Indices will exhaustively cover the small-cap segment of the investable equity universe by targeting for inclusion all companies with a market capitalization below that of the companies in the enhanced Standard Indices and within the top 99% of the investable equity universe in each market in both Developed and Emerging Markets, subject to a global minimum size requirement.
• The enhanced Standard and Small Cap Indices will be combined to create an Investable Market Index in each market to provide broad and exhaustive coverage of the large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies in the investable equity universe, and, along with style segments, result in an integrated investable market index family.
• For index construction and size segmentation purposes, the MSCI Developed Markets countries in Europe will be aggregated and treated as a single market. The country indices for MSCI Developed Markets countries within Europe will be derived from the MSCI Europe Index.
• The Global Investable Market Indices methodology will continue to use a building block approach to allow the creation and calculation of meaningful composite indices. The Global Investable Market Indices methodology also features sector indices created using the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) and value and growth indices created using the existing MSCI Global Value and Growth methodology, for all size segments.

Transition: The transition will occur in two phases rather than three phases as was proposed during the consultation. The details of the transition plan are available in the transition section of the Global Investable Market Indices methodology book. The transition will be synchronized for all markets and composite indices.

• The two phases of the transition of the current Standard Index and the current Small Cap Index will occur as of the close of November 30, 2007 and May 30, 2008, respectively. 
• The final additions and deletions of constituents for each phase will be announced at least 4 weeks in advance of their implementation in the Standard and Small Cap Indices.

Provisional Indices

• In order to add transparency to the transition process and to assist clients in planning and implementing their individual transition strategies, MSCI Barra will provide Provisional Indices for the Standard and Small Cap Indices constructed and maintained according to the Global Investable Market Indices methodology.
• These Provisional Indices will begin to be calculated as of the close of May 31, 2007 and will be distributed to clients from June 5, 2007.

Transition Methodology

• In the first phase of the transition in November 2007, half of the differences between the Provisional Standard and the Standard Indices will be implemented. That is, all companies in the Provisional Standard Index not in the Standard Index will be added to the Standard Index at half of their free float-adjusted market capitalization, and companies in the Standard Index and not in the Provisional will have half of their free float-adjusted market capitalization removed.
• In the second and final phase of the transition in May 2008, after the rebalancing of the Provisional Indices, any and all differences between the MSCI Standard and the MSCI Provisional Standard Indices will be fully reflected in the MSCI Standard Index. 
• The transition of the Small Cap Indices will follow the same approach.

Maintenance of the Current Standard and Small Cap Indices during the Transition

• MSCI Barra will maintain its schedule of regular index reviews for its current Standard and Small Cap Indices.
• During the period from the announcement of the pro forma constituents to the end of the transition (May 3, 2007 through May 30, 2008), MSCI Barra will seek to minimize changes in the current indices not related to the transition. 
• In order to minimize reverse turnover, starting with the May 2007 Index Review for the Standard Indices will use the same minimum size and other investability requirements that will be applied in the construction of the Provisional Standard Indices. 
• The changes resulting from the May 2007 Index Reviews of the current Standard and Small Cap Indices will be available on May 3, 2007 at the same time the pro-forma list of constituents of the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices, including the Provisional Indices, are made available.

MSCI Global Value and Growth Indices

• The MSCI Global Value and Growth Indices will continue to be derived from the Standard Indices and follow the two-phase transition of the Standard Indices. Starting with the first phase of the transition in November 2007, the constituents of the Global Value and Growth Indices will adopt the style inclusion factors of the Provisional Standard Indices.

Indices based on the Standard Indices

• Indices constructed with the Standard Indices as their basis, such as the High Dividend Yield Indices, GDP-weighted indices, 10/40 Indices and other custom indices, will continue to be derived from the Standard Indices throughout the transition.

Standalone Country Indices: MSCI Barra also intends to apply the general framework used to create the Global Investable Market Indices to the MSCI stand-alone country indices.

• This approach will target broader coverage of those markets while satisfying investability requirements that are reasonable and relevant for these countries and offer non-overlapping size segmentation with exhaustive coverage of the size segments. 
• For countries included in the MSCI GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Countries Index, MSCI Barra will announce the methodology and implementation schedule on May 3, 2007.

Documents: The methodology documents for the Global Investable Market Indices are available at https://www.mscibarra.com/products/indices/GIMImethodology.html .

MSCI Barra has clarified and updated its methodology for country classification of securities. Please refer to Appendix I of the Methodology Book for the Standard or Small Cap Index Series, posted at www.mscibarra.com , for the full document. The clarifications and updates are effective immediately.

Portfolio Characteristics

Sustainability characteristics.

Sustainability Characteristics provide investors with specific non-traditional metrics. Alongside other metrics and information, these enable investors to evaluate funds on certain environmental, social and governance characteristics. Sustainability Characteristics do not provide an indication of current or future performance nor do they represent the potential risk and reward profile of a fund. They are provided for transparency and for information purposes only. Sustainability Characteristics should not be considered solely or in isolation, but instead are one type of information that investors may wish to consider when assessing a fund. Learn more

This fund does not seek to follow a sustainable, impact or ESG investment strategy. The metrics do not change the fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe, and there is no indication that a sustainable, impact or ESG investment strategy will be adopted by the fund. For more information regarding the fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

What is the Implied Temperature Rise (ITR) metric? Learn what the metric means, how it is calculated, and about the assumptions and limitations for this forward-looking climate-related metric.

To address climate change, many of the world's major countries have signed the Paris Agreement. The temperature goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and ideally 1.5 °C, which will help us avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.

What is the ITR metric?

The ITR metric is used to provide an indication of alignment to the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement for a company or a portfolio. ITR employs open source 1.55° C decarbonization pathways derived from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS). These pathways can be regional and sector specific and set a net zero target of 2050, in line with GFANZ (Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero) industry standards. We make use of this feature for all GHG scopes. This enhanced ITR model was implemented by MSCI on February 19, 2024.

How is the ITR metric calculated?

The ITR metric is calculated by looking at the current emissions intensity of companies within the fund's portfolio as well as the potential for those companies to reduce its emissions over time. If emissions in the global economy followed the same trend as the emissions of companies within the fund's portfolio, global temperatures would ultimately rise within this band.

Note, only corporate issuers are covered within the calculation. A summary explanation of MSCI’s methodology and assumptions for its ITR metric can be found here.

Because the ITR metric is calculated in part by considering the potential for a company within the fund’s portfolio to reduce its emissions over time, it is forward-looking and prone to limitations. As a result, BlackRock publishes MSCI’s ITR metric for its funds in temperature range bands. The bands help to underscore the underlying uncertainty in the calculations and the variability of the metric.

What are the key assumptions and limitations of the ITR metric?

This forward-looking metric is calculated based on a model, which is dependent upon multiple assumptions. Also, there are limitations with the data inputs to the model. Importantly, an ITR metric may vary meaningfully across data providers for a variety of reasons due to methodological choices (e.g., differences in time horizons, the scope(s) of emissions included and portfolio aggregation calculations).

There is not a universally accepted way to calculate an ITR. There is not a universally agreed upon set of inputs for the calculation. At present, availability of input data varies across asset classes and markets. To the extent that data becomes more readily available and more accurate over time, we expect that ITR metric methodologies will evolve and may result in different outputs. Funds may change bands as methodologies evolve. Where data is not available, and / or if data changes, the estimation methods vary, particularly those related to a company’s future emissions.

The ITR metric estimates a fund’s alignment with the Paris Agreement temperature goal based on a credibility assessment of stated decarbonization targets. However, there is no guarantee that these estimates will be reached. The ITR metric is not a real time estimate and may change over time, therefore it is prone to variance and may not always reflect a current estimate.

The ITR metric is not an indication or estimate of a fund’s performance or risk. Investors should not rely on this metric when making an investment decision and instead should refer to a fund’s prospectus and governing documents. This estimate and the associated information is not intended as a recommendation to invest in any fund, nor is it intended to indicate any correlation between a fund’s ITR metric and its future investment performance.

To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% (or 50% for bond funds and money market funds) of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities with ESG coverage by MSCI ESG Research (certain cash positions and other asset types deemed not relevant for ESG analysis by MSCI are removed prior to calculating a fund’s gross weight; the absolute values of short positions are included but treated as uncovered), the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.

Business Involvement

Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.

Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund’s investment objective, do not change a fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

Review the MSCI methodology behind the Business Involvement metrics, using links below.

Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company’s specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.

Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund’s gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.

The amounts shown above are as of the current prospectus, but may not include extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund over the past fiscal year. Amounts are rounded to the nearest basis point, which in some cases may be "0.00".

The values shown for “market value,” “weight,” and “notional value” (the “calculated values”) are based off of a price provided by a third-party pricing vendor for the portfolio holding and do not reflect the impact of systematic fair valuation (“the vendor price”). The vendor price is not necessarily the price at which the Fund values the portfolio holding for the purposes of determining its net asset value (the “valuation price”). Holdings data shown reflects the investment book of record, which may differ from the accounting book of record used for the purposes of determining the Net Assets of the Fund. Additionally, where applicable, foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the portfolio holdings denominated in non-U.S. currencies for the valuation price will be generally determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, whereas for the vendor price will be generally determined as of 4 p.m. London. The calculated values may have been different if the valuation price were to have been used to calculate such values. The vendor price is as of the most recent date for which a price is available and may not necessarily be as of the date shown above. Please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of each Fund’s prospectus for additional information on the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.

For funds with an investment objective that include the integration of ESG criteria, there may be corporate actions or other situations that may cause the fund or index to passively hold securities that may not comply with ESG criteria. Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for more information. The screening applied by the fund's index provider may include revenue thresholds set by the index provider. The information displayed on this website may not include all of the screens that apply to the relevant index or the relevant fund. These screens are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus, other fund documents, and the relevant index methodology document.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

If the Fund invests in any underlying fund, certain portfolio information, including sustainability characteristics and business-involvement metrics, provided for the Fund may include information (on a look-through basis) of such underlying fund, to the extent available.

Funds that concentrate investments in specific industries, sectors, markets or asset classes may underperform or be more volatile than other industries, sectors, markets or asset classes and than the general securities market.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Any applicable brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the fund. Prior to August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs were calculated using the midpoint price and accounted for distributions from the fund. The midpoint is the average of the bid/ask prices at 4:00 PM ET (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs). The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

Index returns are for illustrative purposes only. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Certain sectors and markets perform exceptionally well based on current market conditions and iShares and BlackRock Funds can benefit from that performance. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and investors should not expect that such results will be repeated.

Distribution Yield and 12m Trailing Yield results may have period over period volatility due to factors including tax considerations such as treatment of passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), treatment of defaulted bonds or excise tax requirements; exceptional corporate actions; seasonality of dividends from underlying holdings; significant fluctuations in fund shares outstanding; or fund capital gain distributions.

The Funds are distributed by BlackRock Investments, LLC (together with its affiliates, “BlackRock”).
