Description: IJR Core S&P Small-Cap

The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that aims to mirror the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, a benchmark of 600 small-capitalization companies. The underlying index is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and spans a broad range of industries, providing diversified exposure to the small-cap segment of the American equity market.

Launched on May 22, 2000, and structured as a passively managed ETF, IJR is classified within the Small Blend category, meaning it invests in small-cap stocks with a mix of growth and value characteristics. Despite its focus on smaller companies, the fund itself has accumulated a large asset base of over $100 billion USD, making it one of the most widely held small-cap ETFs among long-term investors.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Small-cap earnings growth slows amid tariff uncertainty
  • Federal Reserve rate cuts boost small-cap valuations
  • Domestic revenue exposure limits dollar drag on returns
