Overview
The iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF (IGM) operates within the Technology category, which currently contains 17 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer. Issued by iShares, the fund holds an overall rank of #113 among 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 69.9 out of 100. The fund trades at a price of $151.94 and manages $10.7 billion in assets, indicating significant investor adoption relative to its category peers. Investors face an annual expense ratio of 0.39% while receiving a dividend yield of 0.13%. The substantial asset under management suggests the fund is a widely utilized vehicle for exposure to the technology sector. Its position as the 113th ranked fund out of 458 reflects a mid-tier standing in the broader market landscape. The combination of high assets and a moderate grade suggests a balance between popularity and specific performance metrics.
Over the last trading day, the fund declined by 1.40%, following a weekly drop of 0.89% and a monthly loss of 3.35%. Despite these short-term declines, the fund posted a 3-month return of +9.05% and a 6-month gain of +17.34%. Year-to-date performance stands at +17.54%, while the 1-year return reached +32.88%. The long-term trajectory shows significant acceleration, with the 3-year return totaling +123.01%. This pattern indicates a divergence where recent short-term weakness contrasts sharply with strong multi-year growth. The fund has demonstrated resilience over longer horizons despite experiencing recent pullbacks in the daily and weekly periods.
The fund carries a High volatility label and a beta of 1.51, suggesting it experiences larger price swings than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.17 indicates that the returns generated have been efficient relative to the risk taken over the measured period. However, the maximum drawdown of -26.39% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. The combination of a high beta and substantial drawdown implies the fund amplifies market movements in both directions. While the Sharpe ratio suggests positive risk-adjusted returns, the high volatility and drawdown figures point to a turbulent investment experience. Investors in this fund should anticipate periods of sharp declines alongside the strong upward trends observed in the performance data.

IGM Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.04% and average daily volume is 535K/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 $10.7B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: IGM 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.
