The iShares MSCI Global Min Vol Factor ETF (ACWV) is a passively managed fund that invests at least 80% of its assets in securities that mirror the composition and economic characteristics of its underlying MSCI index. The index targets large- and mid-cap equity securities across both developed and emerging markets, selecting constituents that in aggregate exhibit lower historical volatility than the broader global market. This minimum-volatility approach aims to deliver equity-like returns with reduced risk relative to market-cap-weighted benchmarks.
ACWV operates within the ETF industry as a low-cost index-tracking product, classified as a Global Large-Stock Blend fund. As an exchange-traded fund listed on BATS, it offers investors intraday liquidity and transparent holdings, while iShares (BlackRock) generates revenue through expense ratios charged on assets under management rather than active trading decisions.
