Overview
The iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (IDEV) is an international developed markets fund issued by iShares. It is ranked #47 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and holds a grade of B+ (score 74.0/100). The expense ratio is a low 0.04%, and it offers a dividend yield of 3.18%, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors. With a price of $93.31 and assets under management (AUM) of $31.6B, the fund reflects significant investor adoption, indicating a substantial investment in the international developed markets sector.
Over the past year, IDEV has delivered a strong return of 22.68%, with a 3-year return of 71.30%, showcasing a consistent upward trend. The 1-month return of 5.45% and 1-year return of 22.68% indicate a positive short-term performance, while the 3-year return suggests a more pronounced long-term growth. The 1-day return of +0.82% and 1-week return of -0.27% demonstrate some volatility, but the overall pattern shows a steady upward trajectory, with the 3-month and 6-month returns of 5.50% and 5.16%, respectively, supporting a balanced performance across different time horizons.
IDEV is categorized as having a moderate volatility label, with a beta of 0.88, indicating that it tends to move in line with the broader market but with less sensitivity. The Sharpe ratio of 1.16 suggests that the fund provides a good risk-adjusted return, meaning that for every unit of risk taken, it generates a higher return compared to a risk-free asset. The maximum drawdown of -13.41% indicates that the fund experienced a significant decline in value during a bear market, but it has since recovered. This combination of moderate volatility, a positive Sharpe ratio, and a manageable drawdown suggests that IDEV is suitable for investors who are willing to accept some market risk in exchange for potentially higher returns and a stable income stream.

Based on the fund's current trailing yield, which varies with price and distributions — treat it as an estimate, not a guarantee. Yields are not adjusted for tax.
IDEV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 9.15% and average daily volume is 1.6M/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 $31.6B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: IDEV 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. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
