Issued by iShares, this exchange-traded fund holds an overall rank of #205 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 62.3 out of 100. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.25% and offers a dividend yield of 2.15%. Currently trading at a price of $72.17, the ETF manages assets under management totaling $3.65 billion.

The combination of its specific factor focus and cost structure positions it as a specialized vehicle within its category.

Over the most recent trading day, the fund recorded a decline of 0.40%, followed by a weekly gain of 1.16%. The one-month return shows a contraction of 2.64%, while the three-month period reflects a recovery with a gain of 3.58%. Momentum accelerated significantly over the six-month horizon, delivering a return of 9.44%, and the year-to-date performance stands at 12.34%. The one-year return reached 16.99%, extending the positive trend further into the three-year period with a cumulative return of 38.15%. This sequence indicates a divergence between short-term fluctuations and sustained long-term growth over the past three years.

EEMV is assigned a Moderate volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.72, indicating that its price movements have historically been less sensitive to market swings than the broader benchmark. The fund achieved a Sharpe ratio of 0.74, suggesting a reasonable balance between the returns generated and the risk taken to achieve them. During periods of market stress, the maximum drawdown recorded was -12.47%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline observed. This combination of a beta below 1.0 and a moderate drawdown suggests the fund may offer some downside protection relative to more volatile assets. The data points collectively describe a profile where the fund has experienced controlled declines while generating positive returns over extended periods.

EEMV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.03% and average daily volume is 246K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $3.65B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EEMV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
