The iShares Micro-Cap ETF (IWC) tracks the investment results of an index composed of micro-cap equities in the United States. To achieve this, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to the underlying index components, with the remaining 20% available for derivatives, cash equivalents, and non-index securities that support tracking performance.
Micro-cap companies represent the smallest tier of public equities, often characterized by lower trading liquidity and higher volatility compared to large-cap stocks. This segment typically includes early-stage businesses or niche operators that may offer higher growth potential but lack the diversified revenue streams of established corporations.
